^_ PREFACE TO FOURTH EDITION. 

• 

The many changes which have been made in the time 
of rendering the returns of the Quartermaster's Depart- 
ment, as well as in the persons to whom many of them are 
to be made ; together with the fact that the regulations 
governing the Quartermaster's and Subsistence Depart- 
ments have been materially amended since the publication 
of the Revised Army Regulations in 1861, have rendered 
a thorough revision of the Army Manual necessary, in 
order that its instruction may agree in every particular 
with the latest regulations of the War Department. Pur- 
suant to this necessity, the forms, as well as the text, have 
been so revised as to exhibit the several papers required 
by the regulations of the Departments to which they 
relate, in the exact condition prescribed for them by the 
latest orders and regulations. Being in this respect in 
advance of the edition of the Army Regulations now in 
use, where the old forms are retained, and the amendments 
indicated by notes alone in another portion of the book. 

Since its appearance, the Army Manual has supplied a 
want long felt in the regular service, and made pressingly 
evident by the requirements of officers called into the 
army from civil pursuits. It is devoted to the instruction 
of officers in the preparation of all the Rolls, Returns, and 
Reports they are required to make ; with forms of each, 
and full information concerning the manner of filling them. 
All the accounts to be rendered by officers are fully 
explained, and the manner of preparing them clearly set 
forth. 

Officers acting in the Subsistence and Quartermaster's 
Departments will here find full information concerning the 

(iii) 



IV PREFACE. 

several Abstracts and the vouchers required for each, to- 
gether with the character of transactions peftaining to 
these abstracts, and the manner of classifying them. 

The regulations of the general and regimental recruiting 
service are here given, with rules for examining recruits, 
and instruction in the preparation of all accounts and re- 
turns required of officers on the recruiting service, to- 
gether with the rules governing the enlisting of volunteers 
and instruction in the preparation of their muster-in and 
muster-out rolls. 

Much of the information which it has been the endeavor 
of the author to impart has heretofore been acquired by 
the usages of service alone, there being no work to which 
the newly-made officer may apply for instruction in the 
preparation of the various papers prescribed by the army 
regulations. 

It is as a guide in the preparation of papers and accounts 
that the following pages are laid before the officers of both 
the regular and volunteer services, with the hope that they 
may contribute to the efficient performance of these duties 
and the consequent benefit of the service.

ARMY MANUAL 



ORGANIZATION. 

The Army of the United States is composed of the fol- 
lowing Regiments and Corps, ranking in the order in 
which they are placed : 

Corps of Engineers. 

Corps of Ordnance. 

Six Regiments of Cavalry. 

Five Regiments of Artillery. 

Nineteen Regiments of Infantry. 

The several Regiments of Cavalry, Artillery and Infan- 
try are designated as the 1st, 2nd, etc. Regiment of 
Cavalry, Artillery or Infantry, as the case may be. 

The Army is supplied with provisions by the Subsistence 
Department, under direction of the Commissary-General 
of Subsistence, at Washington, through Assistant Com- 
missaries of Subsistence and Officers acting in that capacity. 

The Quartermaster's Department presided over by the 
Quartermaster- General at Washington provides the Army 
with clothing, camp and garrison equipage, transporta- 
tion, forage, fuel, quarters, and every thing required for 
the equipment of an Army that does not properly belong 
to any other Department. 

The duties of the Department are performed by Assist- 
ant Quartermasters, Regimental Quartermasters, and other 
Officers acting as such. 

The Army is paid by the Pay Department, presided over 
by the Paymaster-General, through its officers, denomi- 
nated Paymasters. 

The Medical Department, under the charge of the Sur- 
geon-General, has the supervision of the sick and wounded 
through its Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons. 



6 RANK. 

The Adjutant-General's Department, under the super- 
vision of the Adjutant- General, has charge of the organiza- 
tion of the army, promulgation of orders, reception of all 
rolls, reports and returns, and the superintendence of the 
recruiting service. 

The army is supplied with arms, accoutrements, and all 
ordnance and ordnance stores by the Ordnance Depart- 
ment, under the supervision of the Chief of Ordnance, who 
is the colonel of the ordnance corps, and has his office at 
Washington. 

RANK. 

The foundation of military discipline requires that all 
inferiors shall strictly obey and execute with alacrity and 
good faith the lawful orders of the superiors appointed 
over them, therefore, obedience is the first thing to be 
learned by the officer. 

Military authority should be exercised with firmness, 
but with kindness and justice ; and punishment should be 
made in strict conformity to military law. 

The following is the rank of officers and non-commis- 
sioned officers : 

1st. Lieutenant-General. 10th. Cadet. 



2d. 


Major-General. 


1 1 th. Sergeant-Maj or. 


3d. 


Brigadier-General. 


12th. Quartermaster-Sergeant 


4th. 


Colonel. 


of a Regiment. 


5th. 


Lieutenant-Colonel. 


13th. Ordnance Sergeant and 


6th. 


Major. 


Hospital Steward. 


7th. 


Captain. 


14th. First Sergeant. 


8th. 


First Lieutenant. 


15th. Sergeant. 


9th. 


Second Lieutenant. 


16th. Corporal. 



And in each grade by date of commission or appointment. 

When commissions are of the same date, the rank is to 
be decided, between officers of the same regiment or corps 
by the order of appointment ; between officers of dif- 
ferent regiments or corps : 1st. by rank in actual service 
when appointed ; 2d. by former rank and service in the 
army or marine corps ; 3d. by lottery among such as have 
not been in the military service of the United States. In 
case of equality of rank by virtue of a brevet commission, 
reference is had to commissions not brevet. 

Officers having brevets, or commissions of a prior date 



RANK. 7 

to those of the regiment in which they serve, may take 
place in courts-martial and on detachment, when com- 
posed of different corps, according to the ranks given them 
in their brevets or dates of their former commissions ; but 
in the regiment, troop, or company to which such officers 
belong, they shall do duty and take rank both m courts- 
martial and on detachments which stall be composed only 
of their own corps, according to the commission by which 
they are mustered in the said corps. 

If, upon marches, guards, or in quarters, different corps 
of the army shall happen to join, or do duty together, 
the officer highest in rank of the line of the army, marine 
corps, or militia, by commission, there on duty or in quar- 
ters, shall command the whole, and give orders for what is 
needful to the service, unless otherwise specially directed 
by the President of the United States, according to the 
nature of the case. 

An officer not having orders from competent authority 
can not put himself on duty by virtue of his commission 
alone. 

Officers serving by commission from* any state of the 
Union take rank next after officers of the like grade by com- 
mission from the United States. 

Brevet rank takes effect only in the following cases : 
1st. by special assignment of the President in commands 
composed of different corps ; 2d. on courts-martial or de- 
tachments composed of different corps. Troops are on de- 
tachment only when sent out temporarily to perform a 
special service. 

In regularly constituted commands, as garrisons, posts, 
departments ; companies, battalions, regiments ; corps, 
brigades, divisions, army corps, or the army itself, brevet 
rank can not be exercised except by special assignment. 

The officers of Engineers are not to assume nor to be 
ordered on any duty beyond the line of their immediate 
profession, except by the special order of the President. 

An officer of the Pay or Medical Department can not 
exercise command except in his own department. 

Officers of the corps of Engineers or Ordnance, or of the 
Adjutant-General* s, Inspector-General's, Quartermaster- 
General's, or Subsistence Department, though eligible to 
command according to the rank they hold in the army of 
the United States, and not subject to the orders of a junior 



8 REGIMENTS. 

officer, shall not assume the command of troops unless put 
on duty under orders which specially so direct by authority 
of the President. 

An officer in a temporary command shall not, except in 
urgent cases, alter or annul the standing orders of the 
regular or permanent commander without authority from 
the next higher commander. 

In time of war, or with an army in the field, resig- 
nations shall take effect within thirty days from the date 
of the order of acceptance. 

Leaves of absence shall not be granted by command- 
ing officers to officers on tendering their resignation, un- 
less the resignation be unconditional and immediate. 



REGIMENTS. 

On the organization of a regiment, the companies re- 
ceive a permanent designation by letters, beginning with 
A, and the officers are assigned to companies ; afterward, 
company officers succeed to companies, as promoted to fill 
vacancies. Companies take place in the battalion accord- 
ing to the rank of their captains. 

Captains must serve with their companies. Though 
subject to the temporary details of service, as for courts- 
martial, military boards, etc., they shall not be detailed for 
any duty which may separate them for any considerable 
time from their companies. 

It is enjoined upon all officers to be cautious in re- 
proving non-commissioned officers in the presence or 
hearing of privates, lest their authority be weakened ; and 
non-commissioned officers are not to be sent to the guard- 
room and mixed with privates during confinement, but be 
considered as placed in arrest, except in aggravated cases, 
where escape may be apprehended. 

Non-commissioned officers may be reduced to the ranks 
by the sentence of a court-martial, or by order of the 
commander of the regiment, on the application of the 
company commander. If reduced to the ranks by garrison 
courts, at posts not the headquarters of the regiment, the 
company commander will immediately forward a transcript 
of the order to the regimental commander, 

Every non-commissioned officer shall be furnished 
w T ith a certificate or warrant of his rank, signed by the 



COMPANIES. 9

To contain, also, the names of all enlisted soldiers, entered 
according to priority of enlistment, giving their descrip- 
tion, the dates and period of their enlistment, and, under 
the head of remarks, the cause of discharge, character, 
death, desertion, transfer ; in short, every thing relating to 
their military history. This book to be indexed. 

One copy of the monthly returns will be filed. 

COMPANIES. 

The captain will cause the men of the company to be 
numbered, in a regular series, including the non-commis- 
sioned officers, and divided into four squads, each to be put 
under the charge of a non-commissioned officer. 
1* 



10 COMPANIES. 

Each subaltern officer will be charged with a squad, for 
the supervision of its order and cleanliness ; and captains 
will require their lieutenants to assist them in the perform- 
ance of all company duties. 

As far as practicable, the men of each squad will be 
quartered together. 

The utmost attention will be paid by commanders of 
companies to the cleanliness of their men, as to their per- 
sons, arms, accoutrements, and equipments, and also as to 
their quarters or tents. 

Where conveniences for bathing are to be had, the men 
should bathe once a week. The feet to be washed at least 
twice a week. The hair kept short, and beard neatly trim- 
med. 

Non-commissioned officers, in command of squads, will 
be held more immediately responsible that their men ob- 
serve what is prescribed above ; that they wash their hands 
and faces daily ; that they brush or comb their heads ; that 
those who are to go on duty put their arms, accoutrements, 
dress, etc., in the best order, and that such as have per- 
mission to pass the chain of sentinels are in the dress that 
may be ordered. 

Commanders of companies and squads will see that the 
arms and accoutrements in possession of the men are al- 
ways kept in good order, and that proper care be taken in 
cleaning them. 

When belts are given to a soldier, the captain will see 
that they are properly fitted to the body ; and it is forbid- 
den to cut any belt without his sanction. 

Cartridge-boxes and bayonet-scabbards will be polished 
with blacking ; varnish is injurious to the leather, and should 
not be used. 

All arms in the hands of the troops, whether brown or 
bright, are to be kept in the state in which they are issued 
by the ordnance department. Arms will not be taken to 
pieces without permission of a commissioned officer. Bright 
barrels will be kept clean and free from rust without pol- 
ishing them ; care should be taken in rubbing not to bruise 
or bend the barrel. After firing, wash out the bore ; wipe 
it dry, and then pass a bit of cloth, slightly greased, to the 
bottom. In these operations, a rod of wood with a loop 
in one end of it is to be used instead of the rammer. The 
barrel, when not in use, will be closed with a stopper. 



THE ARMY RATION. 11 



SUBSISTENCE. 

THE ARMY RATION. 

A ration is the established daily allowance of food for 
one person. For the United States army it is composed 
as follows : Twelve ounces of pork or bacon, or, one pound 
and four ounces of salt or fresh beef; one pound and six 
ounces of soft bread or flour, or, one pound of hard bread, 
or, one pound and four ounces of corn meal ; and to every 
one hundred rations fifteen pounds of beans or peas, and 
ten pounds of rice or hominy ; ten pounds of green coffee, 
or, eight pounds of roasted (or roasted and ground) coffee, 
or, one pound and eight ounces of tea ; fifteen pounds of 
sugar ; four quarts of vinegar ; one pound and four ounces 
of adamantine or star candles ; four pounds of soap ; three 
pounds and twelve ounces of salt ; four ounces of pepper ; 
thirty pounds of potatoes, when practicable, and one quart 
of molasses. 

The Subsistence Department, as may be most convenient 
or least expensive to it, and according to the condition 
and amount of its supplies, shall determine whether soft 
bread or flour, and what other component parts of the ra- 
tion, as equivalents, shall be issued. 

Desiccated compressed potatoes, or desiccated compres- 
sed mixed vegetables, at the rate of one ounce and a half 
of the former, and one ounce of the latter, to the ration, may 
be substituted for beans, peas, rice, hominy, or fresh potatoes. 

Beans, peas, salt, and potatoes (fresh) shall be purchased, 
issued, and sold by weight, and the bushel of each shall be 
estimated at sixty pounds. Thus, 100 rations of beans or 
peas will be fifteen pounds, the equivalent of eight quarts ; 
100 rations of salt w^ill be three pounds and twelve ounces, 
the equivalent of two quarts; and 100 rations of potatoes 
(fresh) will be thirty pounds, the equivalent of half a bushel. 

issues extra. 

The issues authorized under this head shall be made on 
returns signed by the officer in charge of the guard, by the 
Assistant Adjutant-General or Adjutant of the headquar- 
ters, by the Quartermaster or other officer accountable for 



12 THE ARMY RATION. 

the animals, by the officer in charge of the working party, 
etc., as the case may be, and approved by the commanding 
officer of the post or station. 

Extra issues will be allowed as follows, viz. : 

Adamantine Candles. — To the principal guard of each camp or garrison, 

per month 12 pounds. 

And when serving in the field, not exceeding the following rates per month, viz. : - 

To the headquarters of a regiment or brigade .- 10 pounds. 

To the headquarters of a division 20 pounds. 

To the headquarters of a corps 30 pounds. 

To the headquarters of each separate army, when composed of more than 

one corps 40 pounds. 

Salt. — Two ounces a week to each public animal. The number of animals to be 
supplied, and the period drawn for, will be stated on each return for extra issues, 
and so entered on the Abstract. (Form 6.) 

WMshy. — One gill per man daily, in cases of excessive fatigue, or severe exposure. 
The number of men issued to will be stated on each return for extra issues, and so 
entered on the Abstract. (Form G.) Under " Remarks," on the return and on the 
Abstract, the letters of companies to which the men belong, mmiber and designa- 
tion of regiment, etc., will be given. 

Oil, candles, or gas, with which to light a fort, barrack, 
or stable, are not allowed from the Subsistence Depart- 
ment. Extra issues of subsistence, except as prescribed 
above, are forbidden. 



WASTAGE. 

Wastage on issues, or from evaporation or leakage, 
will be ascertained monthly, or when it can be most con- 
veniently done, and the actual deficiency, and no more, w r ill 
be charged on the monthly return. Loss from whatever 
cause, exceeding ordinary waste, must be accounted for 
by the officer's certificate, or other satisfactory evidence. 
Ordinary wastage on issues, etc., should not exceed, say 
three per cent, on pork, bacon, flour in sacks, sugar, vin- 
egar, and soap ; and one per cent, on hard bread, beans, 
rice, coffee, and salt. Any surplus gained will be taken up. 
i\o wastage is admitted on issues of fresh beef, furnished 
a command directly from the butcher ; but in beef on the 
hoof, errors in estimated weight, or absolute decrease of 
weight, and losses of cattle strayed, stolen, or died, will be 
accounted for by the certificate of the officer, or other 
satisfactory evidence. When cattle are received on con- 
tract, or purchased, their net weight will be ascertained 
as nearly as practicable, and entered on the return. 

This wastage is entered in the return below the issues. 
Gain on issues is taken with provisions received. 



RATION RETURN. 13 

RATION RETURN. 
Form 1, p. 31. 

Soldiers' rations are issued by the issuing Commissary 
of Subsistence on returns made agreeably to Form 1, 
p. 31. 

It is the duty of commanders of* companies, on arriving 
at a depot to ascertain the number of days' rations on hand, 
and, previous to exhausting them, to make a requisition 
for an additional supply. This requisition, after approval 
by the commanding officer of the post, is taken to the issu- 
ing Commissary, and the provisions drawn. 

It is advisable, when practicable, to consolidate the pro- 
vision returns of a regiment agreeably to Form 2, p. 32. 
This return will be signed by the commanding officer of 
the regiment, and approved by the post commander. 

Provisions are never issued except in this manner, upon 
returns properly made out; all officers should therefore 
immediately on entering the service, acquaint themselves 
with the rules governing the issuing of provisions. 

Regiments and separate commands of one or more com- 
panies have frequently an acting Assistant-Commissary of 
Subsistence with them. This officer receives from the 
Depot Commissary a suitable quantity of provisions in 
bulk, and issues to the command upon provision returns 
as before prescribed. 

There should be a man detailed from the command to 
act as commissary sergeant, whose duty shall'consist in 
making the issues ordered by the A. C. S. 

When men leave their company the rations they have 
drawn and left with it will be deducted from the next re- 
turn for the company ; a like rule when men are discharged 
from the hospital will govern the hospital return. 

Four women are allowed to each company as laundresses, 
and are each entitled to one ration a day ; rations are not, 
however, to be drawn for them unless they are present 
with the company. 

The provision return will be made out for the actual 
strength of the company, soldiers in hospital and other 
absentees not beino- included therein. 



14 ACTING ASSISTANT COMMISSARY. 

Commissioned officers do not draw rations, but are al- 
lowed to purchase of the issuing commissary such articles 
as they may require at cost price, paying cash on delivery. 

ACTING ASSISTANT COMMISSARY. 

An acting assistant commissary of subsistence may be 
any subaltern detailed to the duty of issuing provisions to 
a command. Where it is practicable the regimental Com- 
missary performs this duty. 

The A. A. C. S. on a requisition, approved by his com- 
manding officer, receives from the Depot Commissary of 
Subsistence a suitable quantity of provisions in bulk, for 
which he gives duplicate receipts, and then becomes re- 
sponsible for the property. Duplicate invoices, corres- 
ponding with these receipts, are furnished by the Depot 
Commissary at the time he receives the provisions. 

As these invoices and receipts constitute the basis of the 
officers' accountability to the government, he should be 
careful to verify their accuracy on receiving the property. 

This is a general rule which will be well for all officers 
to follow when receipting for any species of property. 

The A. A. C. S. likewise receives from the Depot Com- 
n^ssary a suitable number of scales, weights, measures 
scoops and other articles needed to facilitate the issuing of 
provisions, which are denominated Commissary property. 

Should it be deemed necessary, the A. A. C. S. will, on 
a requisition approved by his commanding officer, receive 
from the Depot Commissary a suitable sum of money for 
expenditures on account of the subsistence department. 
He will give duplicate receipts for the funds, and never 
part with any portion thereof without like vouchers. 

The following form may be adopted for a receipt : 

Form 3.

ISSUES TO HOSPITAL. 15 

The regular provision returns received by the A. A. C. S. 
will be duly filed, and at the end of every month will be 
embodied in an abstract of provisions issued, in accordance 
with Form 4, p. 33. The quantity in bulk will be as- 
ascertained from the Table annexed. 

This abstract will be compared with the original returns 
by the commanding officer, who will certify to the correct- 
ness of the abstract, which will then become the voucher 
of the commissary for the provisions issued. 

All extra issues will be made on special returus, which 
at the end of the month will be embodied in the abstract of 
extra issues. 

This abstract will be certified by the commanding officer 
after examining the returns, and will also receive the cer- 
tificate of the Surged^" if any of the extra issues were 
made on his recommendation. Form 6, p. 35, shows the 
abstract. 

These abstracts are to be made in duplicate, one to ac- 
company the monthly return, and one to be retained by 
the commissary. 

Should the commissary issue to both regulars and militia 
or volunteers, their returns will be embodied in separate 
abstracts. Should he issue to volunteers alone, the fact of 
the issues being made to that character of troops will be 
specified in the abstract. 

Issues to citizens will be embodied in a separate ab- 
stract. Form 5, p. 34. 

Issues to the hospital will be on returns by the medical 
officer for such provisions only as are actually required for 
the sick and the attendants. The costs of such parts of 
the ration as are issued will be charged to the hospital at 
contract or cost prices, and the hospital will be credited by 
the whole number of complete rations due through the 
month, at contract or cost prices, the balance constituting 
the Hospital Fund ; or any portion of it may be expended 
by the Commissary, on the requisition of the medical officer, 
in the purchase of any article for the subsistence or com- 
fort of the sick not authorized to be otherwise furnished. 
. The articles purchased for the hospital, as well as those 
issued from the subsistence store-house, will -be included 
in the surgeon's certificate of issues to the hospital, and 
borne on the monthly return of provisions received and 
issued. Voucher's for purchases for the hospital must

either be certified by the surgeon or accompanied by his 
requisition. 

Abstracts of the issues to the hospital will be made by 
the commissary, certified by the surgeon, and counter- 
signed by the commanding officer. See Form 7, pp. 36 & 37 

The commissary will each month enter the sales to 
officers in an abstract made agreeably to Form 8, p. 38, 
which will be compared by the commanding officer with 
the certified lists of the officers purchasing, and certified 
to, as shown in Form 8. 

The foregoing abstracts constitute the Commissary's 
vouchers for his monthly issues. They will be entered in 
his monthly return of provisions received and issued, and 
forwarded with it to the Commissary-General. 

The monthly return is shown in Form 12, p. 43a. 

The invoices of provisions received are first entered ac- 
cording to date, and next the purchases made during the 
month, as shown by the abstract, Form 9, p. 39. 

The abstracts of provisions issued, and property re- 
ceipted for, are entered as indicated in Form 12. 

Besides the return of provisions, and the abstracts 
which accompany it, every Commissary must forward the 
following Returns to the Commissary-General monthly. 

Return of all property in the Department, except provisions and forage, with the 

invoices and receipts thereto belonging Form 11.

ACCOUNT CURRENT 19 

vouchers similar to that shown in Forms 16 to 19 5 accord- 
ing to the nature of the case. 

These monthly papers will all be prepared as soon as 
practicable after the expiration of each month, and for- 
warded by mail. 

The abstracts of issues will show the ' corps or detach- 
ment. When abstracts require more than one sheet, the 
sheets will be numbered in series, and not pasted together ; 
the total at the foot of each carried to the head of the 
next, etc., etc. 

All lists of subsistence shall run in this order : meat, 
bread-stuff, rice and beans, coffee, sugar, vinegar, candles, 
soap, salt, anti-scorbutics, purchases for hospitals, forage 
for cattle. 

No charge for printing blanks, as forms, will be allowed. 

A book will be kept by the commissary at each post, in 
which wdll be entered the monthly returns of provisions 
received and issued. It will show from whom the pur- 
chases have been made, and whether paid for. It is called 
the Commissary's book, and will not be removed from 
the post. 

When any officer in the commissariat is relieved, he will 
close his property accounts ; but money accounts will be 
kept open till the end of the month, unless he ceases to 
do duty in the department. 

Stores longest on hand Avill be issued first. 

Armorers, carriage-makers, and blacksmiths, o£ the 
Ordnance Department, are entitled to one and a half ra- 
tions per day ; all other enlisted men, one ration. Laun- 
dresses, one ration. No hired person shall draw more than 
one ration. 

In order that the authorized women of companies may 
draw their rations while temporarily separated from their 
companies, the officer commanding the company must make 
a report to the commanding officer of the post where the 
women may be left, designating such as are to draw ra- 
tions as attached to his company. Their rations are not 
commuted, and they can only draw them at a military post 
or station where there are supplies. 

One ration a day may be issued to any person employed 
with the army, when the terms of his engagement require 
it, or on paying the full cost of the ration w^hen he cannot 
otherwise procure food. 



20 HOSPITAL RATION. 

Lamps and oil to light a fort or garrison are not allowed 
from the Subsistence Department. 

As soldiers are expected to preserve, distribute, and cook 
their own subsistence, the hire of citizens for any of these 
duties is not allowed, except in extreme cases. The ex- 
penses of bakeries are paid from the post fund, to which 
the profits accrue by regulations, such as purchase of hops, 
yeast, furniture ; as sieves, cloths, &c, and the hire of 
bakers. Ovens may be built or paid for by the Subsistence 
Denartment, but not bake-houses. 

Mode of ascertaining the cost at which the ration shall 
be credited the hospital, and commuted to soldiers while 
on furlough, cost of transporting stores not included ; 100 
complete rations consist of, say — 

100 rations of pork or bacon are 75 pounds, at 6 cents i J is $4 75 

100 rations of fresh beef are 125 pounds, at 4 cents J *

100 rations of molasses are 1 quart, at 12 cents 12 

Cost of 100 rations $15 Ou 

Or, one ration costs 15 cents. 

Th£ proportions here given are fixed, but the prices of the 
component parts of the ration are variable. The Commis- 
sary's invoices of stores received in the month will give 
the prices from which to calculate the cost of the ration 
for that month. 



COMMUTATION OF RATIONS. 

When a soldier is detached on duty, and it is impracti- 
cable to carry his subsistence with him, it will be commu- 
ted at seventy-five cents a day, to be paid by the com- 
missary when due, or in advance, on the order of the 
commanding officer. The officer detaching the soldier will 
certify, on the voucher, that it is impracticable for him to 
carry his rations, and the voucher will show on its facQ 



COMMUTATION OF RATIONS. 21 

the nature and extent of the duty the soldier was ordered 
to perform (see Form 16, p. ). 

Commutation will be allowed to soldiers while on fur- 
lough by competent authority, to medical cadets, to female 
nurses employed iu permanent or general hospitals, and to 
persons entitled to rations when stationed where the Gov- 
ernment has not provided subsistence for them, on satis- 
factory evidence that they have not received rations, or an 
equivalent therefor, during the time for which commuta- 
tion is claimed. (Form 17.) The rate of commutation in 
these cases shall be the cost of the ration at the station 
where it is due. The authority competent to give a fur- 
lough is indicated in the General Regulations of the Army, 
or is announced from time to time in orders from the War 
Department. Payment of commutation to a soldier while 
on furlough shall not be made until he has returned to 
duty, or until he is discharged from the military service, 
when furloughed to that date ; and when the voucher for 
payment is not accompanied by the furlough, the fact of 
payment, fully and officially attested, shall be entered on 
the furlough. 

SPECIAL SERVICE. 

The commanding officer will detail a suitable non-com- 
missioned officer or private soldier for special service in 
the Subsistence Department, when such service is needed. 
The soldier so detailed will be under the orders of the 
Commissary, and will be exempt from company or garri- 
son duty. No extra pay for this service is allowed. 

VOUCHERS. 

Purchases paid for. 

Disbursements made for supplies and Commissary Pro- 
perty will be secured by duplicate vouchers shown by 
Form 22, p. 51. 

Commissary Property purchased is entered on vouchers 
separate from those for the purchase of subsistence stores. 

Subsistence supplies purchased by a Commissary or 
or agent, whether paid for or not, must be accounted for 
by him on the proper returns. (Forms 11 and 12.) 

Receipts for money paid must be signed by a principal, 
and not by his clerk or any deputy. 



22 PURCHASE OF STORES. 

Purchases not paid for. 

The voucher for this class of purchases is shown by 
Form 23, p. 52. 

In this voucher, the certificate will be -signed by the 
officer making the purchase, and the receipt taken in the 
name of the officer who pays for the stores. 

This voucher accompanies Abstract of Contingencies. 
(Form 14.) 

Purchases for use of Hospital. 

Purchases for a hospital may be paid for by a Commis- 
sary to the extent of its hospital credit, and must be con- 
fined to 

1st. Food, solid or fluid, to be used for the diet of the 
sick, and not furnished by the Subsistence Department or 
Medical Department. 

2d. Articles to be used in either the preparation or serving 
of the food, embracing principally cooking utensils and table 
furniture, and not furnished by the Quartermaster's De- 
partment or Medical Department. 

3d. Gas, oil, and other means of illumination, to be used 
instead of candles, which are part of the soldier's ration. 

No officer or agent in the military service shall purchase 
from any other person in the military service. 

Form 20, p. 49, shows the voucher for this class of pur- 
chases. 

Purchases of Savings from the Ration. 

Form 21, p. 50, shows the voucher for purchase of com- 
pany savings. It is signed in quadruplicate, and two 
copies used with Property Returns, the other two, with 
the receipt in duplicate, are to accompany the Account 
Current if the officer receiving the property pays for it. 
But if he should not pay for the purchase, the company 
commander retains two of the vouchers and presents them 
with the receipt to a Commissary having funds for such 
payments. 

Sales of company savings, except to the Subsistence 
Department, are prohibited. 

Molasses, green or desiccated vegetables, and all articles 



DISBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES. 23 

furnished as a cure for or preventive of scurvy, are not to 
he purchased as company savings. 

Disbursement for Services Rendered. 

Form 18, p. 47, shows the receipt to be taken for pay- 
ment made to the persons employed in the Commissary 
Department. 

Period of service, rate of pay per day or month, nature 
of duty, etc., should be stated in this voucher. 

When several persons (citizens) are employed by an offi- 
cer during a month, the number of vouchers for payment 
of services rendered by them may be diminished by using 
Form 19. 

A tax of three per cent on sums exceeding $50 a month 
must be deducted from the salaries of employees, and paid 
to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. 

This voucher, as well as that shown by Form 19, must 
be entered on the Abstract of Contingencies. 

When a receipt on a Pay-roll or account is not signed 
by the hand of the party, the payment must be witnessed — 
the witness to be a commissioned officer when practicable. 

When a hired person is discharged and not paid, a cer- 
tified statement of his account, in duplicate, shall be given 
to him. 

When practicable, persons hired in the military service 
shall be paid at the end of the calendar month, and when 
discharged. 

Separate Pay-rolls shall be made for each month.

This is to be made out as shown by Form 3, p. 14. 

The amount of funds received should always be expressed 
in words. 

Receipts for Subsistence funds transferred (one receipt 
in each case of transfer) will be enclosed luith the Account 
Current. 

When there is a large number of receipts for funds 
transferred during a month, they may be entered on an 
Abstract, and the total amount of Abstract entered in 
Account Current, instead of the separate vouchers. The 
receipts accompany the Abstract and Account Current. 



24 TRANSFER OF STORES. 

Stores Transferred to an Officer at the Same Station. 

Subsistence Stores and Commissary Property transferred 
to an officer at the same post must be receipted for in 
duplicate according to Form 24 r p. 53. 

One copy of each receipt most accompany the " Return 
of Provisions." 

Commissary Property must be separately receipted for. 

The property will be invoiced to the officer receiving it, 
according to Form 25, p. 54,. when transferred from one 
Commissary to another, at the same post or station.

One copy of each Invoice must accompany the Return 
of Provisions. 

Stores Transferred to a Quartermaster for Transportation. 

Subsistence stores and Commissary property delivered 
to a Quartermaster for transportation to a Commissary of 
subsistence, will be receipted for in duplicate by the Quar- 
termaster receiving them, according to Form 26, p. 55 the 
Subsistence stores and Commissary property being separately 
receipted for. 

When the receipt of an officer to whom supplies have 
been sent is not received in time to accompany the issuing 
Commissary's Return of Provisions (or Return of Com- 
missary Property), the Quartermaster's receipt for the 
packages shall accompany the Return, and the Commis- 
sary's receipt be forwarded to the Commissary-General as 
soon as received. 

The stores so transferred will be Invoiced in quadrupli- 
cate by the transferring officer, pursuant to Form 27, p. 56. 
Two of the invoices will be delivered to the Quartermaster 
receiving the property, and two sent to the officer for 
whom they are intended. On receipt of the stores he will

properly must be separately invoiced. 

When supplies are to be conveyed to a distance by 
water, the name of the vessel carrying them should be 
stated on the Invoice. When the transportation is by land, 
it should be so stated on the invoice, and the route desig- 
nated. 



SUBSISTENCE OF RECRUITS. 25 

REQUISITION FOR SUBSISTENCE STORES. 

This* requisition will be made by the Commissary for the 
necessary subsistence required for his command for such 
number of days as he may deem necessary. The number 
of persons to be supplied Trill be given with such approxi- 
mation to accuracy as may be practicable. It will be ex- 
amined and approved by the post commander. Form 28, 
p. 57, shows this requisition. 

SUBSISTENCE OF RECRUITS. 

When subsistence cannot be advantageously issued by 
the Commissariat to recruiting parties, it will be procured 
by the officer in charge, on written contracts for complete 
rations. When a contract is for board and lodging, the 
amount to be paid for each must be separately mentioned 
therein ; board only will be paid by the Subsistence De- 
partment. 

Under circumstances rendering it impossible to make a 
contract, the recruiting officer may pay from subsistence 
funds the actual necessary expenses of subsisting his party. 

When the recruiting officer does not disburse subsist- 
ence funds, the contractor will send to the Commissary- 
General for payment, monthly, his accounts for rations 
issued, accompanied by the Abstract of Issues, certified to 
by the recruiting officer. In that case, the expense of sub- 
sistence at branch rendezvous, and of advertising for pro- 
posals, etc., will be paid for by the contractor at the 
principal station, and included in his accounts. 

Issues of subsistence will be made on the usual ration 
returns, and board will be furnished on a return showing 
the number of men and of days, dates, etc. 

Contractors'' Account for Complete Rations. 

Form 30, p. 59, shows this account, which will be paid 
by the recruiting officer, if he have funds for that pur- 
pose. Otherwise the contractor will send his account to 
the Commissary-General with his Abstract of Issues. The 
Commissary paying this account will enter it on his Ab- 
stract of Contingencies.

Contractors' Abstract of Issues. 

Form 31, p. 60, shows this abstract, which is to be made 
out monthly, and sent to the Commissary-General, when 
the recruiting officer has not funds to pay the account. 
The Abstract will be compared with the original Ration 
Returns by the recruiting officer, who will certify thereto. 

CONTRACT FOR COMPLETE RATIONS. 

Form 32, p. 61, shows the manner of preparing this con- 
tract. 

CONTRACT FOR FRESH BEEF. 

This contract is made out in accordance with Form 33,

When a firm is contracting, the full names of the indi- 
viduals composing it will be stated in the contract, together 
with the business name or style of the copartnership. 

FORM OF BOND. 

Bonds for the faithful performance of contracts will be 
prepared, as shown in Form 34, p. 63. 

Bonds to contracts for subsistence supplies shall be exe- 
cuted in duplicate ; one copy to be retained by the contract- 
ing officer or agent, and the other to be sent to the Com- 
missary-General of Subsistence with the copies of the 
contract required to be furnished him. 

The name of the contractor (or names of contractors, as 
the case may be) will be inserted in the bond, in addition

subsistence supplies, with the variations which circum- 
stances may make necessary. 

ESTIMATE OF FUNDS FOR PURCHASING FRESH BEEF, ETC. 

This estimate will be made pursuant to Form 29, p. 58, 
and will be examined and approved by the Commander of 
the Post. In making the estimate, the approximate num- 
ber of troops that will have to be supplied must be arrived 



ABSTRACT OF PURCHASES. 27 

at as accurately as practicable, and the number of issues 
of fresh beef per month, considered. 

ABSTRACT OF PURCHASES. 
Form 9, p. 39. 

This abstract, which is to accompany the Return of Pro- 
visions, must contain all the provisions purchased during 
the month, whether paid for or not. If not paid for, it 
must be so stated in the " Remarks." The vouchers for 
purchases do not accompany this abstract 

Should the purchases made by the Commissary be but 
few, and easily entered on the " Return," then this Ab- 
stract will not be required, and consequently need not be 
prepared. 

The Abstract of purchases paid for (Form 13, p. 42) con- 
tains only those purchases for which disbursements have 
been made, and must, of course, be accompanied by the 
vouchers for the payments. This Abstract is to accom- 
pany the Account Current. 

Vouchers to this Abstract embrace stores purchased by 
an officer or agent, and paid for by him. Vouchers for the 
payment, on a certificate, of articles purchased by another 
officer* should be entered on Abstract of Contingencies. 
(Form 14.) 

DUPLICATE PAPERS. 

All of the foregoing Abstracts, Returns and Accounts 
are to be prepared in duplicate. One set for transmission 
to the Commissary-General of Subsistence, and the other 
set to be retained by the officer rendering the accounts. To 
this end all vouchers will be taken in duplicate, except 
those for purchase of company savings, which will be made 
out in quadruplicate. 

CORRESPONDENCE, ETC. 

Disbursing officers and agents of the Subsistence De- 
partment are required to retain one complete set of official 
papers for reference or other use. 

No charge for printing blank forms will be allowed. 
When practicable to provide them, these forms will be 
furnished officers by the Subsistence Bureau. When offi- 



28 CORRESPONDENCE. 

cers are not thus furnished, they must rule out forms for 
use from the public stationery to correspond with those 
prescribed. The want of printed blanks will furnish no 
excuse to an officer for delay or failure in the rendition of 
his Returns or Accounts. 

The envelops of all official communications to the Com- 
missary-General of Subsistence will be marked " Official," 
with the signature thereto of the officer writing the com- 
munication. 

Under existing laws, packages to the Commissary-Gen- 
eral of Subsistence on official business are carried in the 
United- States mail/ree of postage, and should be intrusted 
. to the Post Office Department for delivery whenever prac- 
ticable. Packages for the Commissary-General of Sub- 
sistence, on official business, will not be committed to 
express agencies for delivery unless all charges for the ser- 
vice are prepaid. 

Postage and dispatches by telegraph on public business, 
paid by an officer, will be refunded to him by the Quarter- 
masters Department. These expenses are not to be paid 
for with subsistence funds. 

Officers doing duty in the Subsistence Department 
should be particular to forward with their Returns and 
Accounts, in addition to the required vouchers,' all orders 
of commanding officers, and other papers, upon which 
they may rely to relieve themselves from responsibility. 

An official letter addressed to the Commissary-General 
of Subsistence, whenever its length will permit, shall be 
written on a half-sheet of letter paper, and shall refer to 
one matter only. 

The post-office address of an officer's station shall be 
given in his official letters. " In the field," " Headquarters 
," " Camp ," and other similar indefinite ex- 
pressions of locality, do not of themselves indicate the 
place at or near which an officer is stationed. 

Persons in the military service, when signing official 
letters, Returns, Accounts, etc., should write their names 
plainly. Underneath the name, their rank, company, and 
regiment, corps, or other official designation, should be 
written legibly. Official papers shall be signed by the officer 
to ^hom they belong, and not by his clerk or any deputy. 
A regimental officer on staff duty (a Commissary to a 
brigade or division, for example) should not omit to write 



CORRESPONDENCE. 29 

under his signature the number of his regiment, and the 
State, District, or Territory to which it belongs.

One sash is allowed to each company for the first ser- 
geant, and one knapsack with straps, haversack, and can- 
teen with straps, to each enlisted man. These, and the 
metallic scales, letters, numbers, castles, shells, and flames, 
and the camp and garrison equipage, will not be returned 
as issued, but borne on the return while fit for service. 
They will be charged on the muster roll to the person in 
whose use they are, when lost or destroyed by his fault. 

When these articles become unfit for service, by reason 
of ordinary wear, the commanding officer of the company 
will submit them to the examination of a Board of Survey, 
which w^ill make such report upon the property as will 
enable the inspector to condemn it, and thus permit the 
officer responsible to drop it from his return. 

Extraordinary losses of this property, and injury thereto, 
not incident to ordinary service, must be submitted to a 
Board of Survey, with a certified statement of the officer ac- 
countable for the property, and such other certificates and 
affidavits concerning the circumstances, as will enable the 
board to report fully in the premises.

Clothing and Camp and Garrison Equipage come from 
the military storekeeper at Philadelphia, who sends direct 
to the several stations such clothing as is called for by 
the yearly requisitions of company commanders. Depot 
quartermasters are also furnished with their supplies from 
the same source. 

On campaign, the clothing required for troops is fur- 
nished by the Depot quartermaster, on a special requisition 
made according to Form 36, p. 72. This requisition sets 
forth the reason for the requirement, and, after approval 
by the commanding officer of the depot, is taken to the 
Quartermaster, who issues the articles, giving duplicate 
invoices, and receiving duplicate receipts. 

Regimental quartermasters sometimes draw clothing 
and articles of camp and garrison equipage from the 
depot-quartermaster on a special requisition, and issue the 
articles to the commanders of companies, on requisitions 
approved by the regimental commander, the company 
commanders giving receipts to the regimental quarter- 
master, and issuing to their men on the usual receipt rolls. 

Hospital tents are procured by the surgeon of the regi- 
ment on special requisition, and when the regiment moves, 
and the hospital tent can not be transported with it, the

the surgeon must turn it over to the depot-quartermaster, 
in order to relieve himself from responsibility for it on the 
books of the accounting officers of the treasury. 

In turning over property, duplicate invoices must in 
every case be given, and duplicate receipts obtained. 

Officers responsible for camp and garrison equipage, 
should never leave it to the charge of others without 
receipts, and never deliver it without giving invoices at the 
same time.

Officers receiving, clothing, or camp and garrison equipage, 
will render monthly returns of it to the Quartermaster- 
General. 

Commanders of companies will take the receipts of their 
men for the clothing issued to them, on a receipt roll, 
witnessed by an officer, or in the absence of an officer, by 
a non-commissioned officer ; the witness to be witness to 
the fact of the issue and the acknowledgment and signa- 
ture of the soldier. The several issues to a soldier to be 
entered separately en the roll, and all vacant spaces on the 
roll to be rilled with a cipher. This roll is the voucher for 
the issue to the quarterly return of the company com- 
mander. Extra issues will be so noted on the roll. 

Each soldier's clothing account is kept by the company 
commander in a company book. This account sets out 
only the money value of the, clothing which he received at 



70 CAMP AND GARRISON EQUIPAGE. 

each issue, for which his receipt is entered in the book, 
and witnessed as in the preceding paragraph. 

When a soldier is transferred or detached, the amount 
due to or by him on account of clothing will be stated on 
his descriptive list. 

When a soldier is discharged, the amount due to or by 
him for clothing will be stated on the duplicate certificates 
given for the settlement of his accounts. 

Deserters' clothing will be turned into store. The in- 
voice of it, and the Quartermaster's receipt for it, will state 
its condition and the name of the deserter. 

Commanding officers may order necessary issues of cloth- 
ing to prisoners and convicts, taking deserters' or other 
damaged clothing when there is such in store. 

In all cases of deficiency, or damage of any article of 
clothing, or camp or ga*rrison equipage, the officer ac- 
countable for the property is required by law " to show 
by one or more depositions, setting forth the circumstances 
of the case, that the deficiency was by unavoidable acci- 
dent or loss in actual service, without any fault on his 
part, and in case of damage, that due care and attention 
were exerted on his part, and that the damage did not re- 
sult from neglect." 

Officers desiring to obtain any article of clothing can 
do so, giving the cost price. to any soldier who draws the 
article as an extra issue, and pays for it on his next mus- 
ter roll. 

Bedsacks are not furnished to troops in the field. 

Form 37, p. 72#, shows the monthly^ return of clothing 
and camp and garrison equipage. 

This return must be made to the Quartermaster-General, 
at the expiration of every month by every officer who re- 
ceives and receipts for any article of clothing and camp and 
garrison equipage. 

In the third column, under " on hand per last return," 
will be entered the several invoices according to date. 

In the lower portion will be entered the several issues 
according to the date of vouchers. The total of each 
clothing receipt roll of issues to troops is to be entered. 

The total issued, taken from the total received gives the 
figures for the last line. 

The several invoices and receipts, duly numbered, are 
sent with the return to the Quartermaster-General.

HORSES. 73 

QUARTERMASTER'S DEPARTMENT. 

HOKSES. 

All horses used for cavalry, artillery, and transportation, 
are obtained from the Quartermaster's Department ; they 
are issued on special requisitions, (Form 36, p. 72,) ap- 
proved by the commanding officer. 

When receipted for they are to be borne on the officer's 
return of Quartermaster's propeity, until they are turned 
over to another, or are otherwise disposed of. 

When a horse becomes unfit for service, he is to be con- 
demned by a Board of Survey. Or, if such be impracticable, 
from the exigencies of the service in the field, the animal 
may be expended on the officer's certificate. Officers are 
relieved from responsibility for horses killed in action hi 
the same manner. 

Public horses are not to be used for private purposes by 
any one, commissioned officers being required to furnish 
their own horses. 

In fitting up a vessel for the transportation of horses, 
care is to be taken that the requisite arrangements are 
made for conveniently^ feeding and cleaning them, and to 
secure them from injury in rough weather by ropes at- 
tached to breast-straps and breeching, or by other suitable 
means ; and especially that proper ventilation is provided 
by openings in the upper deck, wind-sails, etc. The ven- 
tilation of steamers may be assisted by using the engine 
for that purpose. 

Horses should not be put on board after severe exercise 
or when heated. In hoisting them on board, the slings 
should be made fast to a hook at the end of the fall, or the 
knot tied by an expert seaman, so that it may be well se- 
cured and easily loosened. The horse should be run up 
quickly, to prevent him from plunging, and should be 
steadied by guide ropes. A halter is placed on him before 
he is lifted from the ground. 

On board, care is to be taken that the horses are not 
overfed ; bran should form part of their ration. The face, 
eyes, and nostrils of each horse are to be washed at the 
usual stable hours, and, occasionally, the mangers should 
be washed and the nostrils of the horses sponged with 
vinegar and water.

74 FORAGE. 

FORAGE. 

The forage ration is fourteen pounds of hay and twelve 
pounds of oats, corn, or barley. 

Forage shall be issued to officers only in the month when 
due, and at their proper stations, and for the horses actu- 
ally kept by them in service, not exceeding in number as 
follows: In time of war, Major-General, seven horses; 
Brigadier-General, five ; Colonels who have the cavalry al- 
lowance, five ; other Colonels, four ; Lieutenant-Colonels 
and Majors who have the cavalry allowance, four ; other 
Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors, three ; Captains who have 
the cavalry allowance, three ; all other officers entitled to 
forage, two ; and in time of peace, general and field offi- 
cers, three horses ; officers below the rank of field officers in 
the regiments of cavalry, two horses ; all other officers en- 
titled to forage, one horse. 

]STo officer shall sell forage issued to him. Forage issued 
to public horses or cattle is public property ; what they do 
not actually consume is to be properly accounted for. 

Forage is issued to mounted troops, and for the animals 
used for transportation by the Quartermaster on requisitions 
made pursuant to Form 63, p. 122, and for private horses 
of officers entitled to forage pursuant to Form 64, p. 123. 

Mounted detachments frequently have their own Acting 
Assistant Quartermaster, who obtains forage in bulk from 
the Depot Quartermaster, or by purchase ; and issues on 
requisitions, according to forms above mentioned. 

Regimental quartermasters obtain forage in bulk, and 
issue on requisition to the animals of the regiment. 

On the arrival of a command at a depot, it is the duty of the 
Quartermaster to make a requisition for the necessary forage, 
have it approved by the commanding officer of the depot, 
and then draw the forage of the Depot Quartermaster. 

When a command is detached the Quartermaster will 
provide forage by purchase, if none can reach him from 
the depot. 

Officers drawing commutation for forage on their pay 
accounts, are not allowed to draw forage in kind for their 
horses. 

STRAW. 

In barracks, twelve pounds of straw per month for bed- 
ding is allowed to each man, servant, and company woman. 



STATIONERY. 



75 



The' allowance and change of straw for the sick is regu- 
lated by the surgeon. 

One hundred pounds per month, is allowed ior bedding 
to each horse in public service. 

At posts near prairie land owned by the United States, 
hay is used instead of straw, and provided by the troops. 

Straw not actually used as bedding shall be accounted 
for as other public property. 

Straw is drawn by company commanders from the 
Quartermaster, on requisitions made agreeably to Form 
66, p. 126. 

STATIONERY. 

Stationery for public service is drawn from the Quarter- 
master. The following is the allowance of officers, to be 
drawn quarterly : 



o» a 



Commander of an army, department, or division 
(what may be necessary for himself and staff 
for their public duty). 

Commander of a brigade, for himself and staff. . 

Officer commanding a regiment or post of not 
less than five companies, for himself and staff. .. 

Officer commanding a post of more than two and 
less than five companies 

Commanding officer of a post of two companies. . . 

Commanding officer of a post of one company or 
less, and commanding officer of a company. . . 

A Lieutenant-Colonel or Major not in command of 
a regiment or post

termaster's Department (the prescribed blank 
books and printed forms, and the stationery re- 
quired for their public duty). 

All officers, including chaplains, not enumerated 
above, when on duty and not supplied by their 
respective departments

76 STATIONERY. 

Steel pens, with one holder to twelve pens, may be is- 
sued in place of quills, and envelopes in place of envelope 
paper, at the rate of 100 to the quire. 

When an officer is relieved in command, he shall transfer 
the office stationery to his successor. 

To each office table is allowed one inkstand, one stamp, 
one paper folder, one sand-box, one wafer-box, and as many 
lead-pencils as may be required, not exceeding four per year. 

Necessary stationery for military courts and boards will 
be furnished on the requisition of the recorder, approved 
by the presiding officer. 

The commander of an army, department, or division, 
may direct orders to be printed, when the requisite dis- 
patch and the number to be distributed make it necessary. 
The necessity will be set out in the order for the printing, 
or certified on the account. 

Regimental, company, and post books, and printed 
blanks for the officers of the quartermaster and pay de- 
partments, will be procured by timely requisition on the 
Quartermaster-General. 

Printed matter procured by the Quartermaster-General 
for use out of Washington may be procured elsewhere, at 
a cost not to exceed the rates prescribed by Congress for 
the public printing, increased by the cost of transportation. 

Officers draw their stationery on requisitions made out 
pursuant to Form 69, p. 12 8, the columns being filled with 
the amounts of the several articles according to the rank of 
the officer drawing, as shown by the foregoing table. 

The caption of the requisition will set forth the name of 
the officer, his station, the time drawn for, and the dates 
of its commencing and ending. 

The requisition is made out in duplicate, and a certifi- 
cate, as indicated, signed by the officer. 

Officers making purchases of stationery for office use, 
must be careful to restrict their purchases to such articles 
as are authorized. For instance, the purchase of penknives 
as stationery is not allowed, erasers being the article recog- 
nized by the accounting officers of the Treasury as the 
proper purchase. 

The requisite blanks for muster and pay rolls, monthly 
returns, discharges, descriptive lists, and all returns and 
reports pertaining to the recruiting service, are obtained 
from the Adjutant-General's office.

officers, hospitals, guards, and any other requirement for 
fuel 

When an officer is on such service that fuel and quar- 
ters can not be furnished to him by the Quartermaster's 
Department, he is permitted to commute his allowance 
and receive of the Quartermaster the cash value thereof. 

Form 42, p. 102, shows an officer's account for commuta- 
tion of fuel and quarters. It must be accompanied by a 
certificate, showing by whose order the officer was station- 
ed, and the first account must be accompanied by a copy 
of the order so assigning him. 

TRANSPORTATION. 

Officers travelling under orders not less than ten miles, 
are entitled to the means of transportation for themselves 
and baggage ; this the Quartermaster will furnish if he has 
public means of transport, if not, the officer will commute 
the allowance at 10 cents a mile for the entire route, meas- 
ured by the nearest mail route, or if he so elect, the officer 
may receive the actual cost of the journey. The cash re- 
ceived in lieu of the transportation is paid the officer by 
the Quartermaster on accounts prepared in conformity with 
Forms 43 and 44, pp. 103 and 104. The account is to be 
accompanied by a copy of the order by virtue of which 
the officer has performed the journey. 

This allowance for travelling is only to be paid when 
the journey is performed. 

Form 45, p. 105, shows the account which must be ren- 
dered by civilians travelling under orders, and in the serv- 
ice of the army. . m 

In the field, where there are no other means of trans- 
portation, the Quartermaster will furnish the officer with 
a public horse and equipments, taking the officer's receipt 
therefor. 

This property the officer will turn over to the Quarter- 
master of the post at which his journey terminates, and 
furnish the requisite return to the Quartermaster-Gener-al. 

Officers travelling on government transports are fur- 
nished with their passage only. The cost of subsistence 
while on board being a matter of contract wdth the offi- 
cers of the vessel. This is the case whether the officer 
has troops on board or is travelling under orders. 



TKANSPOKTATION.

The requisite number of wagons are furnished by the 
Quartermaster for the transportation of troops in the field, 
the number depending on the length of the march and the 
amount of transportation on hand. Under ordinary cir- 
cumstances, two wagons to a company of infantry is a fair 
allowance. Where a movement is made by a regiment, 
the Regimental Quartermaster will receipt for the trans- 
portation and take it up on his return. 

With a single company, the Captain will be responsible 
for the means of transportation, or a subaltern acting as 
Quartermaster. 

Where the wagons are to be immediately returned, the 
Quartermaster furnishing the transportation, may send it 
in charge of his own wagon-master with his own team- 
sters, and continue to bear the property on his return. In 
which case he will be relieved from losses and injury by 
the certificate of the officer in command of the troops to 
which the transportation was furnished. 

When troops are moved, or officers travel with escorts 
or stores, the means of transport provided shall be for the 
whole command. Proper orders in the case, and an exact 
return of the command, including officers' servants and 
company women, will be furnished to the Quartermaster 
who is to provide the transportation. 

The baggage to be transported is limited to camp and 
garrison equipage, and officers' baggage. Officers' bag- 
gage shall not exceed (mess-chest and all personal effects 
included) as follows :

These amounts shall be reduced r pro rata by the com- 
manding officer when necessary, and may be increased by 
the Quartermaster-General on transports by water, when 
proper, in special cases. 

The regimental and company desk prescribed in army 
regulations will be transported ; also for staff officers, the 



80 TRANSPORTATION". 

books, papers, and instruments necessary to their duties ; 
and for medical officers, their medical chest. In doubtful 
cases under this regulation, and whenever baggage exceeds 
the regulated allowance, the conductor of the train, or of- 
ficer in charge of the transportation, will report to the 
commanding officer, who will order an inspection, and all 
excess be rejected. 

Estimates of the medical director, approved by the com- 
manding officer, for the necessary transportation to be pro- 
vided for the hospital service, will be furnished to the 
Quartermaster. 

The sick will be transported on the application of the 
medical officers. 

Where officers' horses are to be transported, it must be 
authorized in the orders for the movement. 

The baggage trains, ambulances, and all the means of 
transport continue in charge of the proper officers of the 
Quartermaster's Department, under the control of the com- 
manding officers. 

In all cases of transportation, whether of troops or 
stores, an exact return of the amount and kind of trans- 
portation employed will be made by the Quartermaster to 
the Quartermaster-General, accompanied by the orders for 
the movement, a return of the troops, and an invoice of 
the stores. 

On transports, cabin passage will be provided for offi- 
cers, and reasonable and proper accommodation for the 
troops, and, when possible, a separate apartment for the sick. 

If the journey be to cash treasury drafts, the necessary 
and actual cost of transportation only will be allowed ; and 
the account must describe the draft and state its amount, 
and set out the items of expense, and be supported by a 
certificate that the journey was necessary to procure specie 
for the draft at par. 

Orders to an officer on leave of absence to rejoin the 
station or troops he left, will not carry transportation. 

In changes of station, an officer entitled to mileage, or 
actual cost of transportation, shall be entitled to actual cost 
of transportation of his authorized servants ; and in other 
cases than change of station, an officer entitled to trans- 
portation, who, from wounds or disability, requires and 
takes one servant, shall be entitled to the actual cost of his 
transportation. 



EXPENSES OF COURTS-MARTIAL. 81 

" Citizens receiving military appointments join their sta- 
tions without expense to the public. 

But assistant surgeons, approved by an examining board 
and commissioned, receive transportation in the execution 
of their first order to duty, and graduates of the Military 
Academy receive transportation from the academy to their 
stations. 

When officers are permitted to exchange stations, the 
public will not be put to expense of transportation, which 
would have been saved if such exchange had not been per- 
mitted. 

A paymaster's clerk will receive the actual expenses of 
his transportation, while travelling under orders in the dis- 
charge of his duty, upon his affidavit to the account of 
expenses, and the certificate of the Paymaster that the 
journey was on duty, as shown by Form 45, page 105. 

EXPENSES OF COURTS-MARTIAL. 

An officer who attends a general court-martial or court 
of inquiry, convened by authority competent to order a 
general court-martial, will be paid, if the court is not held 
at the station where he is at the time serving, one dollar a 
day while attending the court and travelling to and from 
it, if entitled to forage, and one dollar and twenty-five 
cents a day if not entitled to forage. 

The Judge Advocate or Recorder will be paid, besides, 
a per diem of one dollar and twenty-five cents for every 
day he is necessarily employed in the duty of the court. 
When it is necessary to employ a clerk to aid the Judge 
Advocate, the court may order it ; a soldier is to be pro- 
cured when practicable. 

A citizen witness shall be paid his actual transportation 
or stage fare, and three dollars a day while attending the 
court, and travelling to and from it, counting the travel at 
fifty miles a day. 

The certificate of the Judge Advocate shall be evidence 
of the time of attendance on the court, and of the time he 
was necessarily employed in the duty of the court. Of 
the time occupied in travelling, each officer will make his 
own certificate. 

These expenses will be paid by the Quartermaster on an 
account made out according to Form 46, p. 106. The copy 



82 MONTHLY RETURNS. 

of the order to the officer, and of the summons to the wit- 
ness, will in all cases accompany the account.

of attendance of the officer, will also be furnished the Quar- 
termaster paying the account. 

POSTAGE. 

The amount paid by officers for postage on account of 
public service, will be refunded by the Quartermaster on

cordance with Form 47, p. 107

One copy of this roll accompanies the officer's Return 
of Clothing, Camp and Garrison Equipage, the other is 
retained with the retained copy of the above return. 

SPECIAL REQUISITION. 

Form 36, p. 72. 

This is the form of requisition upon which transfers of 
clothing, camp and garrison equipage are made to officers. 
The requisition first states the requirement, then gives the 
certificate of the officer as to the necessity of the require- 
ment, and has the approval of the commanding officer of 
the post, or of some officer appointed by him for that pur- 



94 MONTHLY RETURNS. 

pose. Below the approval is the receipt of the officer re- 
ceiving the property. 

This requisition is made out in duplicate. 

Duplicate invoices of the property transferred are fur- 
nished the officer receiving it at the time of transfer. 

FOEM OF VOUCHER. 
Form 87, p. 14T. 

'This exhibits the form of voucher to be used for miscel- 
laneous disbursements where no definite form is given. It 
is applicable to either abstracts B or C, according to the 
nature of the expenditure. 

DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF ARTICLES AND PERSONS TRANS- 
FERRED. 

Form 88, p. 148. 

When persons and articles hired in the Quartermaster's 
Department are transferred, a descriptive list of this form 
will be forwarded with them to the Quartermaster to 
whom they are sent. 

DUPLICATE PAPERS. 

All of the Returns, Reports and Accounts Current here- 
inbefore named, together with their accompanying abstracts 
and the vouchers by which they are supported, are to be 
made out in duplicate, with tjie exception of the following : 

TRIPLICATE PAPERS. 

1. The Roll of Non-Commissioned Officers and Privates 
employed on extra duty (Form 80) is to be made out in 
triplicate. One copy is to be sent to the Quartermaster- 
General as before stated, and one copy sent to the Third 
Auditor of the Treasury with the money accounts. The 
other will be retained. 

2. The Return of Property (Form 54) will be made out 
in triplicate, and two copies sent to the Quartermaster- 
General. One copy with abstracts and vouchers, and the 
other without them. 

3. The Return of Clothing, Camp and Garrison Equip- 
age will be made out in triplicate, and two copies sent to 
the Quartermaster-General. One without vouchers. 



MONTHLY RETURNS. 95 

RETAINED PAPERS. 

One complete set of accounts, returns, vouchers, and all 
papers pertaining thereto, should be retained by the officer 
for his own protection, as the originals are frequently lost 
in transmission, and the duplicates must then be relied on 
for effecting a settlement. 

ACCOUNTS TO BE DULY RENDERED. 

Failure to comply with the regulations regarding the 
rendering of accounts, will cause the delinquent officer to 
be reported to the President for dismissal from the service. 

Whenever an officer ceases, from any reason, to be a dis- 
bursing officer, he will immediately render his final accounts, 
with vouchers, to the Third Auditor. 

The Monthly Papers, the Returns of Quartermasters' 
stores, and the Returns of Clothing, Camp and Garrison 
Equipage, will each be accompanied by a letter of advice 
enumerating the papers therein enclosed. 

Officers who are not doing duty as Quartermasters, who 
are not disbursing money, but who are responsible for 
public property received from the Quartermaster's De- 
partment, such as horses, clothing, camp and garrison 
equipage, etc., will only forward to the Quartermaster- 
General the monthly returns of the property for which 
they are accountable, accompanied by vouchers. This in- 
cludes company commanders, who should hereafter trans- 
mit their returns of clothing and other Quartermasters' 
property to the Quartermaster-General monthly, instead 
of Quarterly. 

All officers doing duty in the Quartermaster's Depart- 
ment are also required to make out and forward to the 
Quartermaster-General, on the first day of each month, a 
personal report, giving their post-office address and a state- 
ment of the duty upon which they have been employed 
since their last report. 

TELEGRAMS. 

Copies of the telegrams must accompany vouchers for 
their payment when they can be procured. If the copies 
cannot be procured, the account may be paid by a Quar- 
termaster upon the certificate of the Commanding General 
of the Department, or the Commanding Officer of the 
post, showing that the telegrams were on public business, 
and thai the matter demanded this mode of communication.

ORDNANCE. 

ARMS AND ACCOUTREMENTS. 

The Ordnance Department has charge of the arsenals 
and armories, and furnishes all ordnance and ordnance 
stores for the military service. 

The general denomination, " Ordnance and Ordnance 
Stores," comprehends all cannon and artillery carriages and 
equipments ; all apparatus and machines for the service and 
manoeuvres of artillery ; all small arms and accoutrements 
and horse equipments ; all ammunition ; and all tools and 
materials for the ordnance service. 

The commander of each company or detachment will 
be accountable for all ordnance or ordnance stores issued 
to his command. The commander of each post will be ac- 
countable for all ordnance and ordnance stores at the post, 
not issued to the company or detachment commanders, or 
not in charge of an officer of ordnance or a store-keeper. 
Ordnance sergeants will account for ordnance property 
only where there is no commissioned officer of the army 
or store-keeper. 

Commanding officers of the militia in the service of the 
United States, shall return and account for ordnance and 
ordnance stores in the use of troops as required in the 
regular service. And all arms and equipments issued to 
such militia, shall be charged against the person to whom 
the issue is made on the muster-roll or pay account, to be 
accounted for to the mustering and inspecting officer, be- 
fore receiving pay during service and on his discharge. 

When a mustering and inspecting officer relieves such 
person from charge for loss or damage to his arms or 
equipments, satisfactory evidence, by affidavit or other- 
wise, setting out the facts of the loss or damage, and 
showing that it was not by his fault, shall be annexed to 
the pay-roll or account. 

When charges on account of ordnance stores are made 
against a soldier, the property return shall give his name 
and the pay-roil or account in which the charge is made. 



150 SALES OF ARMS TO OFFICERS. 

Arm chests are to be preserved and accounted for as 
other ordnance stores. 

In the time of peace, ordnance and ordnance stores are 
issued from the armories only by authority of the ordnance 
bureau of the War Department. In war, to supply troops 
in service, they are issued on the order of any general or 
field officer commanding an army, garrison, or detachment. 
Though in issues to the militia, they must have been regu- 
larly mustered into the service, and the requisition made 
agreeably to Form 89, p. 161, have been approved by the 
mustering and inspecting officer of the United States, or 
a general or a field officer commanding in the regular 
service. 

Requisitions for ordnance and ordnance stores for com- 
panies or posts may, in urgent cases, be sent direct to the 
Adjutant-General's office, a duplicate to be forwarded at 
the same time to Department headquarters. Requisitions 
for the Military Academy are to be transmitted to the chief 
engineer. Requisitions for supplies for arsenals and ar- 
mories are to be sent direct to the ordnance bureau. 

When arms, accoutrements, and equipments need re- 
pairs that cannot be made by the troops, the commanding 
officer may send them to be repaired to the most convenient 
arsenal. 

Ordnance and ordnance stores are issued to States and 
Territories, on the signing of triplicate receipts by the 
governor thereof, or the officer or agent appointed by him 
to receive the stores ; one of which, when returned, is to 
be sent by the issuing officer to the ordnance bureau. 

The expenses of issue and delivery of these stores, at any 
point within the State designated by the governor, if on 
navigable water or otherwise easily accessible, are paid by 
the United States from the appropriation for arming and 
equipping the militia. The officers of the Ordnance De- 
partment provide for the transportation and payment of 
expenses. 

SALES OF ARMS TO OFFICERS. 

Officers may draw arms and accoutrements from any 
arsenal, for their own use in the public service, on payment 
of the regulated prices, and signing duplicate receipts of 
the following form :

the regiment, and the issue ordered by the commander of 
the department, or general commanding an army in the 
field. 

In filling up this requisition, the strength of the company 
is stated in the upper branch. 

The articles required are inserted in the second branch, 
under the head of articles, in the order in which they appear 
in the lists above given. 

The first column is to be filled with the total number of 
each article required for use in the battery. The second 
column will contain the amount on hand, and the third 
column the quantity to be supplied, which will be what the 
requisition calls for. 

The first two columns will be used when the requisition 
is for articles to supply a battery already organized. In 
fitting out a new battery, the first two columns are to be 
left blank, and the number of each article, as obtained from 
the foregoing list, inserted in the third column. 

Under the head of remarks it must be stated whether 
the articles are required to replace articles lost, defective, or 
consumed in service. If they be designed to replace like 
articles received from any State, it must be noted. The 
calibre of the arms, and whether rilled or smooth bore, 
must be stated in the column of remarks. 

This form of requisition will be used for obtaining 
small arms and accoutrements ; the same rules governing

the filling up that have been given for preparing a requisi- 
tion for a battery. 

Duplicate receipts will be given by the officers receiv- 
ing ordnance and ordnance stores, and duplicate invoices

The following is the form of a receipt for ordnance :

500 



32 pounder iron cannon. 
24 " casemate carriages, complete. 
24 " barbette carriages, complete, 
muskets, new, brovrn. 



C. D., Major Commanding. 
(In duplicate.) 

When the receipt of the officer to whom the stores are 
issued, is not received by the issuing officer in time to ac- 
company his property return, his certified invoice and the 
receipt of the Quartermaster for the packages will be sub- 
stituted for this voucher. 



RETURN OF ORDNANCE AND ORDNANCE STORES. 

Form 91, p. 163. 

Every officer who is responsible for any article of ord- 
nance or ordnance stores, is required to make, at the ex- 
piration of each quarter, a return of ordnance and ordnance 
stores received, issued, and remaining on hand, and transmit 
the same, with his vouchers, to the chief of ordnance, 
within iive days after the expiration of the quarter. 

The manner of preparing this return is shown by the 
form, though varied in every case to suit the articles to be 
accounted for. The manner of accounting will in all cases 
be like tfcat shown in the form ; the upper branch showing 
in what manner the articles have come into possession of 
the officer, and the lower branch the manner in which they 
have been disposed of; the difference between what has 
been issued and expended and the total to be accounted 
for, giving the amount remaining on hand to be accounted 
for next quarter. 



160 ORDNANCE RETURN. 

In the first branch the invoices of articles received are 
entered, each invoice numbered to accompany the return, 
and in the second branch every issue is entered, with the 
receipt duly numbered. 

This return, with its vouchers, is to be sent to the Chief 
of Ordnance, Washington, D. (7., accompanied by a letter 
of transmittal. 

Unserviceable arms are to be sent, by the officer respon- 
sible for them, to an arsenal for repairs, before accumu- 
lating in excess of the surplus arms of the company. By 
attention to this the arms of the company will always re- 
main in a serviceable condition. 

The arms are to be boxed up and delivered to the quar- 
termaster, for transportation to the nearest arsenal. The 
officer sending will transmit to the commanding officer of 
the arsenal duplicate invoices of the property. 

Companies are not to have property that forms no part 
of their equipment- Therefore, it is the duty of an offi- 
cer commanding a company, whose equipment has been 
changed, to turn into the nearest arsenal all articles be- 
longing to the old equipment. 

Officers of artillery whose companies have been serving 
with batteries, and have been ordered to serve as infantry, 
will turn in every thing pertaining to the battery, and close 
the accounts of the property in the next quarterly return. 

Officers commanding detachments of recruits who have 
receipted for arms, must, when the recruits are delivered 
to their respective companies, furnish invoices of the ord- 
nance property turned over with them to the commanders 
of the respective companies, who must duly receipt for the 
property. 

These officers must, at the expiration of the quarter, fur- 
nish a return of ordnance of the prescribed form (Form 
91, p. 163, and close their account with the Department. 

All officers must frequently inspect the condition of arms 
in the hands of their commands, and carefully note all 
damage, which may be chargeable against the soldier on 
the next muster roll ; the damage to be charged in ac- 
cordance with the list of prices before given.

pensation of two military commissions, or appointments, at 
the same time. 

When an officer is dismissed from the service, he shall 
not be entitled to pay beyond the day or. which the order

upon pay rolls (Form 96, p. 202) prepared by the pay- 
master, from the data given on the muster rolls to which 
they are attached and form a part, full description of

178 AIUSTER ROLLS. 



ROLLS, RETURNS AND REPORTS. 

All commanding officers of troops are required to mate 
out and transmit certain rolls, returns and reports, 
showing the strength and condition of their respective 
commands, and the changes that may have taken place 
since the previous report or return. Also, returns for the 
public property for which they may be responsible, show- 
ing -the quantity on hand, and its condition, and the loss 
or damage that has occurred to arms, accoutrements, and 
other public property, and to whom chargeable. 



Rolls, Returns, and Reports Required from Company 
Commanders. 

The following returns, rolls and reports are to be made 
by company commanders : 

MUSTER ROLLS. 
Form 95, p. 201. 

Muster rolls are made out every two months, by the 
commanding officer of each company, and must embrace 
all matter that serves to give a correct statement of the 
condition of the company, and all data necessary to ensure 
justice to the soldier, and guide the paymaster in making 
the payments. 

The number of such rolls to be made out are one mus- 
ter roll, as showm by Form 95, p. ^201, to be sent by the 
mustering officer to the Adjutant-General's office within 
three days after each regular muster ; and three muster 
and pay rolls ; one to be retained in the archives of 
the company, and tw^o for the paymaster. These must be 
carefully compared with each other, to ensure their per- 
fect correspondence. 

In making out the roll, the names of the commissioned 
and non-commissioned officers are placed at the head of 
the column of names in the order of their rank ; and the 
privates below them in alphabetical order. 



MUSTER ROLLS. 179 

« In the third column, the rank of each individual will be 
placed after his name. 

Under the head of " enlisted," will be entered the facts 
as to when, and where, and by whom enlisted, and for what 
period. This data is obtained from the descriptive roll 
received with the man when he enters the company. 

By whom and to what time paid is learned from the 
previous roll. This will also give the facts to be entered 
under the head of bounty. 

The next column, under the head of Names, is to con- 
tain the names of all who have responded to the roll-call 
at muster, such being those who are present. 

All officers and soldiers are to be taken up, on the rolls, 
so soon as assigned to the company by oompetent au- 
thority, whether they have yet joined or not, and to be 
dropped when similarly transferred from it. The fact of an 
officer or soldier belonging to the company not being de- 
pendent on his actual presence with it. 

Under the head of Remarks, the date when any assign- 
ment takes effect, the No., date, etc., of order therefor ; the 
date of any officer or soldier's joining, whether originally, 
or from any absence ; the date of an officer's assuming, or 
being relieved, from any command, or special duty ; the de- 
scription of any special, extra, or daily duty, on which the offi- 
cers or soldiers may be ; all changes of rank, by promotion, 
appointment, or reduction, with date of same, and No., date, 
etc., of order ; all authorized stoppages, fines, sentences, with 
No., date, etc., of order, etc. ; in case of absence, the nature 
and commencement of, No., date, etc., of order, and period 
assigned for, same (to be repeated on every roll, while it 
lasts) ; if wounded in battle, or injured on duty, — if sick, or 
confined, a remark to that effect ; etc., etc. — must be care- 
fully stated opposite to the name of the person concerned, 
with everything else necessary, either to account fully for every 
individual of the company, — to guide the paymaster, — or en- 
sure justice to the soldier, and to the United States. 

In noting stoppages to be made for loss, or damage to 
public property, the gross amount due for Ordnance, for 
Horse equipments, for Clothing, etc., will be separately stated 
under the head of Remarks. These items will be obtained 
from lists kept by the first sergeant. The amounts to be 
charged will be found by reference to the tables containing 
the prices of the several articles in another part of this book. 



180 MUSTEK ROLLS. 

The damage to and loss of public property in the charge 
of a soldier will, in all cases, be entered on the muster roll 
against him, unless such loss and damage was unavoidable 
from the exigencies of the service; in which case a hoard 
of survey will relieve the officer from the responsibility. 

The clothing entered on the muster roll comprises all 
extra issues for which the soldier has to pay. 

When men are entitled to the benefits of the 2d section 
of the act of August 4th, 1854, the following remarks will 
be made : " $2 pr. mo. for former services." 

The expression " former services " being used to desig- 
nate the ivhole period of the soldiers former service prior to 
the date of the act. 

If he be entitled to $1 additional for re-enlisting subse- 
quent to its date, the remark will be " $2 pr. nio. for 
former services, and $1 for re-enlisting ; " for a second re- 
enlistment " $2 pr. mo. for former services, and $2 for re-en- 
listment," etc. 

For soldiers coming under the head of Untitled to a cer- 
tificate of merit under the 3d and 4th sections of act of 
August 4th, 1854, the remark will be " $2 pr. mo. for for- 
mer services, and $2 for certificate of merit, and $1 for re- 
enlisting," etc., according to the facts of the case. 

All forfeitures of pay by sentence of court-martial must 
be entered in the remarks, stating amount forfeited per 
month, and for how many months with No. and date of 
order approving of the sentence. 

The remark u discharge and final statements given" will 
be made opposite to the name of every discharged soldier 
to whom such papers have actually been given. But the 
blank spaces, under the head of Last Paid, are to be 
filled as usual by the name of the paymaster, and time he 
was paid with the company. 

In all cases of " re-enlistment" prior to the expiration of 
the term of service, the discharge on the old enlistment 
will be given at the time the soldier " re-enlists," from and 
on which day his pay on the new enlistment will commence. 

As the amount of pay due the soldier is computed 
from the remarks by the paymaster, great care must be 
taken by the commander of a company that there are no 
errors in the rolls. 

In the column of names immediately after the roll of 
those belonging to the company, will follow the names of the 



MUSTEK AND PAY ROLLS. 181 

officers and soldiers who, since last muster, have ceased to 
belong to it. These will be classed in the following order, 
viz : discharged, transferred, died, deserted., and the utmost 
particularity will be observed in the remarks concerning 
them. Date and place will in every case be given ; and 
the number, date, etc. of orders or description of authority 
be always carefully specified. Soldiers discharged and re- 
enlisted, or who have deserted and been retaken since last 
muster, have their places in both of the rolls, appearing 
first as belonging to the company, and then under the ap- 
propriate head to show the change, as, discharged or deserted. 
The bounties granted for re-enlistment by the acts ap- 
proved July, 1838, and June, 1850, having been repealed 
by the act approved August 3d, 1861, in future no such 
bounties will be paid ; and after the payment of all sums 
due soldiers on such account, the column relating to these 
bounties will have no place on the rolls. 

MUSTER AXD PAY ROLLS. 
Form 96, p. 202. 

These are the same as the simple muster roll, with the 
addition of the pay-roll, as shown in Form 96, p. 202. 

The commander of the company has nothing to do with 
the filling up of the columns of the pay roll. This is done 
by the paymaster from the data given him by the muster- 
roll and its remarks. 

At the foot of the muster roll there will be noted the 
•actions in which the company, or any part of it, has been 
engaged, scouts, marches, changes of station, and every- 
thing of interest relating to the discipline, efficiency or ser- 
vice of the company, with date, place, distances marched, etc. 

There will also be prepared a recapitulation of the com- 
pany, to agree with the facts of the muster roll. This is 
shown on pages 144 and 145, and sets forth the num- 
ber of officers and enlisted men present for duty, the num- 
ber absent on extra duty, sick, or in arrest. The number 
died, deserted and transferred from the company. The 
number joined, and where from, whether as recruits, from 
desertion, tfcc. 

The books of instruction received from the Adjutant- 
General's office will each be accounted for, as also the 
number of blanks on hand furnished from the same office.

RETURN OF ORDNANCE. 

Form 91, p. 163. 

This return will be made out by post commanders at 
the end of every quarter. One copy, without vouchers, 
will be sent to the Headquarters of the Department, and 
one copy, with vouchers, to the Chief of Ordnance. The 
June return sent to the Chief of Ordnance, will be accom- 
panied with a certificate of having taken an inventory, to 
be made on the return. 

These returns must be transmitted within twenty days 
after the expiration of the quarter to which they relate. 

RETURNS OF COMPANY AND POST FUNDS. 

Every four months, the commander of the post must 
make to Department Headquarters, a return of -these 
funds. These returns are the accounts current of the Post 
Treasurer, made agreeably to Form 104, p. 206, signed by 
the Treasurer, and approved by the commanding officer 
of the post. 

In order that the making out of these accounts may be 
understood, a statement of the manner in w T hich these 
funds are raised and disbursed, must be given. 

Post Fund. 

This fund is raised at each post by a tax of not more 
than ten cents a month for every officer and soldier of the 
command, according to the average in each month ; and 
from the saving of the Hour ration, ordinarily thirty-three 
per cent., by baking the soldier's bread at the post bakery. 

This fund pays the expenses of the bake-house, and the 
expenses of the soldier's children at the post school. 

The officer in charge of the fund, is the Post Treasurer, 
designated by the commanding officer. He keeps the fund 
and disburses it on the warrants of the commanding offi- 
cer, drawn in pursuance of specific resolves of the Council 
of Administration. 

At each settlement of the treasurer's account, the coun- 
cil distributes the unexpended balance of the post fund to 
the several companies and other troops, in the ratio of 
their average force during the period ; and if a company 



198 COMPANY FUND. 

leaves the post, it then receives its distributive share of 
the accrued fund. 

In the field, the regulations regarding the post fund, are, 
as far as practicable, applied to a regimental fund, raised, 
administered, expended and distributed in the same man- 
ner as the post fund, by the regimental commander and a 
regimental council. 

Company Fund. 

The corn-pony fund is formed from the savings of the 
company ration, paid for by the commissary, and the dis- 
tribution of the post or regimental fund. It is disbursed 
by the captain for the benefit of the enlisted men of the 
company, pursuant to the resolves of the majority of the 
company officers present. This constitutes the company 
council, to be convened by the captain every two months, 
or oftener if necessary. 

Every four months, and whenever the company leaves 
the post, or another officer takes command of the compa- 
ny, the company fund account is made up, and submitted 
with a duplicate to the post commander, wiio, after ex- 
amination, forwards the duplicate to department head- 
quarters. 

In the field, all that is stated here for the post commander, 
devolves on the regimental commander. 

The form given for the account of the post treasurer, is 
the same as that to be made out for the company fund, 
making the proper alterations in the heading. Form 104, 
p. 206.

208 RECRUITING PARTIES. 



RECRUITING SERVICE. 

This comprehends the duty by which the ranks of the 
army are filled. It is conducted by the Adjutant-General, 
through superintendents of recruiting service and recruiting 
parties. 

Recruiting is made for both general and regimental ser- 
vice. In the latter case the colonel of the regiment is the 
superintendent. 

A recruiting parly generally consists of one lieutenant, 
one non-commissioned officer, two privates, and a drummer 
and fifer. 

The superintendent is supplied with clothing, arms, ac- 
coutrements and equipage, by requisitions on the proper 
departments, sent through the Adjutant-General, and with 
funds, on an estimate of the amount required sent to the 
Adj utant-General. 

RECRUITING PARTIES. 

Recruiting parties are supplied with funds, clothing, 
equipage, and arms from the superintendent, the officer in 
charge of the party receipting therefor. 

Recruiting officers may purchase such articles of furni- 
ture as are absolutely necessary for the service, on special 
authority of the superintendent ; but such purchases should 
be made with great caution, as there is much difficulty in 
getting such accounts allowed. 

Necessary stationery will be purchased monthly or quar- 
terly, not to exceed per quarter at each station six quires 
of paper, twenty-four quills, or twenty-four steel pens and 
two holders, half an ounce of wafers, one paper of ink- 
powder, one bottle of red ink, four ounces of sealing-wax, 
one quire of cartridge paper or one hundred envelopes, 
one-fourth quire of blotting paper, and one piece of tape. 
If necessary, an additional supply of one-fourth of these 
rates will be allowed to the recruiting officer having charge 
of one or more auxiliary rendezvous distant from his per- 
manent station. At the principal depdts the allowance 
is fixed by the wants of the public service. 



RECRUITS. 209 

To eacli office table is allowed one inkstand, one wafer - 
stamp, one wafer-box, one paper-folder, one ruler, and as 
many lead pencils as may be required, not exceeding four 
per annum. 

Such blank books as may be necessary are allowed to 
the general superintendent and at permanent recruiting 
depots ; also one descriptive book for the register of re- 
cruits at each permanent station. Blank books will be 
purchased by recruiting officers, under instructions from 
the superintendent. 

When a recruiting officer is relieved, the blank books 
and unexpended stationery, with all the other public prop- 
erty at the station, will be transferred to his successor, who 
will receipt for the same. 

Officers in command of parties will send recruits to the 
depot every ten days, provided the number of disposable 
recruits exceeds three. The recruits should be sent in 
charge of a non-commissioned officer. 

RECRUITS. 

To become a recruit, it is necessary that the person of- 
fering be over five feet three inches high, free from physi- 
cal defect, and with sufficient knowledge of the English 
language to understand when spoken to, and be not less 
than eighteen nor more than thirty-five years of age. 

This restriction as to age does not apply to musicians, 
nor to soldiers who may re enlist after serving a previous 
enlistment in the army. Xor is it to be rigidly enforced 
in time of war, provided the applicant have the requisite 
physical qualifications. 

Minors cannot be enlisted without the written consent 
of their parents, guardians, or masters, if they have any. 
This consent will be appended to their enlistment, and will 
be in the following form : 

Consent in case of Minor. 
I, C D , Do certify, That I am the father of A B- 



that the said A B is twenty years of age ; and I do hereby 

freely give my consent to his enlisting as a Soldier in the Army of the 
United States for the period of three years. 

Given at New York, the 16th day of August, 1861. 
Witness: E F . C D . 

Permanent parties at depots, and recruiting parties, are 



210 FORM OF EXAMINING A RECRUIT. 

to be mustered and paid in the same manner as other sol- 
diers. Recruits are to be paid at the depots only, and one 
half of their pay is to be retained until they join their 
regiments. 

Commanders of recruiting parties will issue to recruits 
only such articles of clothing as are indispensable. Their 
equipment will not be made complete until after they have 
passed the inspection, subsequent on their arrival at the 
depot. This inspection will take place within two days 
after the arrival of the recruit, and should he be found 
unfit for service, a Board of Iuspectors shall be convened 
by the superintendent to examine into the case. 

Applicants for enlistment will be examined by the medi- 
cal officer in the presence of the recruiting officer. 

The room in which this examination is conducted should 
be well lighted, and large enough to admit of the men 
being walked about freely, that every organ concerned in 
locomotion may be subjected to inspection. 

The person of the applicant should be washed clean be- 
fore inspection, as it is impossible for the medical officer to 
ascertain the existence of certain disqualifying defects, when 
concealed as they sometimes are under incrustations of 
filth. 

Certain defects can only be ascertained from the man 
himself; it is necessary, therefore, to avoid all subsequent 
evasions, that his answers to questions should be recorded 
on the spot upon blanks of the following form, which will 
be furnished from the Adjutant-General's office : 

FORM FOR EXAMINING A RECRUIT.

of the inspection, and referring to the report of the Board 
of Inspectors (should it be found necessary to organize 
such board), add to his certificate such general remarks 
relative to the appearance, quality, etc., of the recruits, 
as, in his judgment, the facts may justify. He will retain 
a correct copy of the muster and descriptive roll for 
the information of company commanders, and forward 
the original roll to the Adjutant-General's office with- 
out delay.

me, according to the Rules and Articles of War. 

Sworn and subscribed to, at New York, ) 

This 16th day of August, 1861, I A. B. 

Before me, Gr. H., Justice of the Peace. ) 

I certify, on honor, that I have carefully examined the above-named 
Recruit, agreeably to the Regulations of the Army, and that in my 
opinion he is free from all bodily defects and mental infirmity, which 
would, in any way, disqualify him from performing the duties of a 
soldier. 

C. D., Examining Surgeon. 

I certify, on honor, that I have minutely inspected the Recruit, A. 
B., previously to hie enlistment, and that he was entirely sober when 
enlisted ; that, to the best of my judgment and belief, he is of lawful 
age ; and that, in accepting him as duly qualified to perform the'duties 
of an able-bodied soldier, I have strictly observed the Regulations 
which govern the recruiting service. This soldier has dark eyes, dark 
hair, dark complexion, is five feet six inches high. 

E. F., Recruiting Officer. 

Transportation. 

The transportation of recruits to depots, and from one 
recruiting station to another, will be paid from the recruit- 
ing funds ; transportation of officers and enlisted men on 
the recruiting service will be paid in the same manner, ex- 
cept when first proceeding to join that service, or return- 
ing to their regiments after having been relieved. 

No expenses of transportation of officers will be admitted 
that do not arise from orders emanating from the Adju- 
tant-General's office, except that they be required to visit 
branch or auxiliary rendezvous under their charge, when 
they will be allowed the stage, steamboat, or railroad fare, 
porterage included. 

Whenever an officer is relieved or withdrawn from the 
recruiting service, he will forward to the Adjutant-General 
the evidence of the disposition he may make of the funds, 
according to regulations and the special orders he may 
have received, and report the fact to the Superintendent, 
or to his colonel if on regimental recruiting service. 

The rent of the recruiting rendezvous is paid from the 
recruiting funds. The terms of the contract will be im- 
mediately reported to the Adjutant-General. 



BOAKDS OF INSPECTION. 219 



BLANKS. 



Officers on recruiting service will make timely requisi- 
tions for printed blanks, direct, as follows : 

To the Adjutant- General. — For enlistments; re-enlist- 
ments; muster rolls; muster and descriptive rolls; monthly 
returns ; tri-monthly reports ; recruiting accounts current ; 
accounts of clothing issued ; posters or hand-bills ; forms 
of declaration, and consent for minors. 

To the Quartermaster- General. — For estimates of clothing, 
camp and garrison equipage ; clothing receipt rolls ; quar- 
terly returns of clothing, camp and garrison equipage. 

Xo blanks of the above kinds will be used except the 
printed forms furnished. Blanks of other kinds, when re- 
quired, must be ruled. 

Blanks for the regimental recruiting service are furnished 
to the company commanders. 

Boards of Inspection. 

When a recruit is received at a post with such defects 
as to disqualify him for the duties of a soldier, a Board of 
Inspectors will be assembled to examine into and report 
on the case. 

Boards of Inspectors for the examination of recruits will 
be composed of the three senior regimental officers present 
on duty with the troops, including the commanding officer 
and the senior medical officer of the army present. 

In all cases of rejection, the reasons therefor will be stated 
at large in a special report by the board ; which, together 
with the surgeon's certificate of disability for service, will 
be forwarded by the superintendent or commandant of 
the post direct to the Adjutant-General. If the recom- 
mendation of the board for the discharge of the recruit be 
approved, the authority will be endorsed on the certificate, 
which will be sent back to be tilled up and signed by the 
commanding officer, who will return the same to the Ad- 
jutant-General's office. 

The Board will, state in the report whether the disability, 
or other cause of rejection, existed before his enlistment, 
and whether, with proper care and examination, it might 
have been then discovered. 



220 DETACHMENTS OF RECRUITS. 

Returns from Officers commanding Recruits. 

An officer intrusted with the command of recruits or- 
dered to regiments, will, on arriving at the place of desti- 
nation, forward the following papers : 

1. To the Adjutant- General and the Superintendent, each, 
a descriptive roll and an account of clothing of such men 
as may have deserted, died, or been left on the route from 
any cause whatever ; with a special report of the date of 
his arrival at the post, the strength and condition of 
the detachment when turned over to the commanding of- 
ficer, and all circumstances worthy of remark which may 
have occurred on the march. 

2. To the Commanding Officer of the regiment or post, 
the muster and descriptive roll furnished him at the time 
of setting out, properly signed and completed by recording 
the names of the recruits present, and by noting in the 
column for remarks, opposite the appropriate spaces, the 
time and place of death, desertion, apprehension, or other 
casualty that may have occurred on the route. 

3. To the Quartermaster- General, a return of clothing, 
camp and garrison equipage (form 37, p. 72cr), and return 
of Quartermaster's property (form 54, p. Ilia), if he shall 
have had such articles in charge. 

4. To the Chief of Ordnance, a return of ordnance and 
ordnance stores if the detachment was armed. 

5. To the Commissary- General of Subsistence, returns of 
provisions received and issued ; and of Commissary prop- 
erty, as prescribed under the head of subsistence ; provided 
no other officer accompanied the detachment as Acting As- 
sistant Commissary of Subsistence, in which case these re- 
turns will be made by the A. A. C. S. 

Should an officer be relieved in charge of a detachment 
en route, before it reaches its destination, the date and 
place, and name of the officer by whom he is relieved, 
must be recorded on the detachment roll. Without the 
evidence of such record, no charge for extra pay for cloth- 
ing accountability of a detachment equal to a company will 
be allowed. 

The "original muster and descriptive roll " of every de- 
tachment will, after completion, be sent to the Adjutant- 
General by the commanding officer of the post where the 
recruits are delivered. 



DESCRIPTIVE LIST. 221 



DESCRIPTIVE LIST. 
Form 118, p. 235. 

This list is furnished every detachment of men transfer* 
red from one company to another, and to individual sol- 
diers in any way detached from their commands. It gives 
a full history of the soldier and his description. To it is 
appended a clothing account, showing the quantity of 
clothing received by the soldier, from which a full state- 
ment of his account may be prepared wherever he may be. 

In the field, when men are left in a hospital, their de- 
scriptive lists and clothing accounts must be left with the 
surgeon. 

The Descriptive List is prepared from the data furnished 
by the Muster Roll. Particular attention must be paid to 
the following considerations in making it out : 

The amount of additional pay, if any, for former services 
under the act of August 4, 1854, must be carefully noted in 
the exact words used on the Muster Roll. 

Likewise, the amount due the soldier for a certificate of 
merit, or in lieu of a commission, under sec. 4, act of August 
4, 1854, in the exact words used on the Muster Roll.

tered, ex. gr. as Acting Hospital Steward, as Saddler, etc., 
and which may be still due him. 

In the column headed " Bounty Paid," must be entered 
the whole amount hitherto paid him ; in that of " Bounty 
Due," the whole amount yet due, on account of the bounty 
provided by sec. 3, act of June 17, 1850. 

The amount of Retained Pay due, at date, will be care- 
fully stated. 

Stoppages for loss or damage done to arms, or other pub- 
lic property must be noted, and the articles, and particular 
damage to each specified. 

When stoppages are due, under sentence of a Court- 
martial, a, transcript of the same must be entered here ; and 
the amount already stopped, must be carefully stated. 

In every case of desertion, the date, and that of delivery, 
or apprehension, mast be given, together with a correct 
transcript of the order of sentence, or pardon. 

A careful settlement of the marts Clothing Account 
must be made, to date, and the amount due to, or from him 
must be precisely stated. 



222 QUARTERLY RETURN OF RECRUITS. 

Should the man have been engaged in any action, 01 
skirmish, it must be mentioned, together with date and 
place. 

A full and particular mention will be made of any wounds 
he may have received in action, or, other injury, whilst in 
the line of his duty. 

Regimental Recruiting Service. 

This is under the direction of the commanding officer of 
the regiment as superintendent, subalterns of the regiment 
being detailed at the several posts garrisoned by the regi- 
ment, as recruiting officers. 

The same regulations established for the general recruit- 
ing service govern the regimental recruiting service. 

The regimental recruiting officer will make the following 
returns, together with those prescribed for recruiting offi- 
cers : 

Monthly return of recruiting party. 

Quarterly return of recruits enlisted. 

Quarterly account current. 

MONTHLY RETURN OF REGIMENTAL RECRUITING PARTY. 

Form 119, p 236. 

This return is to be made to the commander of the reg- 
iment, at the end of each month. It will contain the 
strength of the party and recruits, present and absent, and 
the alterations since the last return. It will also give the 
names of enlisted men, required in explanation of the al- 
terations, with the particulars of their enlistment as shown 
in the form. 

The date a rendezvous (except at a garrisoned post) is 
opened or closed, will be stated. 

The date and place of all transfers (except to the regi- 
ment or other stations), all discharges, deaths, etc., the 
real and assumed name, company, and regiment, of recog- 
nized deserters, will also be noted on this return.

RECRUITING OF VOLUNTEERS. 223 

ACCOUNT CURRENT. 
Form 109, p. 225. 

The Dr. side of this account will show the several items 
of expenditure made by the recruiting officer, during the 
quarter. Each payment supported by its voucher, which 
will accompany the account. 

The Cr. side will show the amount of money received 
by the officer. 

This account will be sent to the Adjutant-General, at the 
expiration of every quarter. 

In every respect, the regimental recruiting service is to 
be governed and conducted according to the same rules, 
and under the same regulations as the general service, ex- 
cept that the recruiting officer must obtain the approbation 
of the commanding officer of the station to enlist a recruit. 

When leaving a post, the regimental recruiting officer 
will turn over the funds in his hands to the senior com- 
pany officer present, unless some other be appointed to re- 
ceive them. 

Recruiting of Volunteers. 

Volunteers for the army of the United States are re- 
cruited by their own officers, at their own expense or that 
of the state to which they belong, under ordinary circum- 
stances. But, when by act of Congress a special appropri- 
ation is made for collecting, drilling, and organizing vol- 
unteers, certain expenses of recruiting then become charge- 
able to the United Stales. 

The following are the expenses which, under such ap- 
propriations, are to be paid by the mustering officer : 

1st. Rent of rendezvous or office for recruiting. 

2d. Commutation of fuel and quarters for officers already mustered in- 
to service when detached on recruiting; duty. 

3d. Subsistence of volunteers prior to their muster into service. 
After such muster, subsistence will be provided by the Subsistence De- 
partment. If possible, subsistence will be issued in kind, as recognized 
in the regular service; or if other articles are substituted, the cost of 
the whole must not exceed the regular supplies, and will be paid for at 
rates not exceeding the current prices at the place of purchase. If sub- 
sistence cannot be furnished in kind, and board be necessary, it will be 
furnished at a rate not to exceed forty cents per diem. 

4th. Necessary transportation of volunteers prior to completion of 
company organization, and muster into service as a company. After 
completion of such organization and muster, transportation will be paid 
by the Quartermaster's Department. Transportation will be at the rate 



224 BECRUITIXG OF VOLUNTEERS. 

of two cents per mile for railroad travel, and at the current rates for 
stage and steamboat fare. 

5th. Rent of grounds and buildings for camping purposes, cost of 
erection of quarters, of cooking stoves when absolutely necessary, of 
clerk and office hire, when authorized by the Adjutant-General, and of 
all expenses incidental to camps of rendezvous. 

6th. Knives, forks, tin cups, and tin plates for volunteers. 

lih. Necessary medicines and medical attendance prior to organiza- 
tion of regiments, or the mustering in. of the regimental surgeons. 

8th. Actual railroad, stage, or steamboat fare, necessarily incurred by 
authorized agents in raising or recruiting volunteers. 

9th. Advertising. Officers recruiting will be authorized in not to 
exceed two newspapers for each rendezvous under their charge. 

10th. Fuel and straw, previous to company organization, according 
to the allowance for the regular army. 

11th. All other expenses allowed for recruiting in the regular ser- 
vice, not herein mentioned, and incurred for volunteers previous to their 
muster into the United States service. 

Payment will only be made on account of troops, offi- 
cers, and men that have been or may be mustered and re- 
ceived into, or actually employed in the service of the 
United States. Organizations raised, or attempted to be 
made, but not mustered and received into service, are not 
to be recognized. 

Personal expenses of commissioned officers in recruiting 
their companies, prior to their being mustered into service, 
will not be paid ; but commissioned officers will be paid 
the same rates for subsistence and quarters (board and 
lodging) as privates, from the date of enrolment until 
mustered into service. The necessary and actual travelling 
expenses of officers, when accompanied by bills of particu- 
lars and receipts for payments, properly authenticated, will 
be allowed. 

Bills of particulars, with dates and rates of charges, and 
the receipt of the party to whom payment was made, must 
in all cases be furnished. In short, original vouchers for 
expenditures of every description must be furnished. The 
accounts must also designate the particular regiment and 
company, and name of the commanding officer who author- 
ized the expenditure. 

When expenses have been incurred for "board," or 
" board and lodging," the amount must be reasonable, and 
in accordance with the usual rate of the neighborhood ; 
the bills must also specify the regiment or company to 
which the troops so subsisted or quartered belonged.

242 MUSTER-IN ROLLS. 



MILITIA IN THE SERVICE OF THE 
UNITED STATES. 

Whenever volunteers or drafted militia are called into 
the service of the United States, by any officer authorized 
to make such call, the requisition is made on the Governor 
of the State or Territory in which the militia are to be 
raised, and the number of officers, non-commissioned offi- 
cers and privates stated in the requisition, according to the 
organization prescribed by law of the United States. 

Before militia are received in the service of the United 
States, they are mustered by an Inspector-General or some 
other officer of the regular army, specially designated to 
muster them. 

It is the duty of the officer designated to muster and 
inspect militia, to forward muster rolls of each company, 
and of the field and staff of each regiment, direct to the 
Adjutant-General of the Army, Washington ; and he will 
also immediately forward a consolidated return, by regi- 
ments and corps, of the force received into service, for the 
information of the War Department. 

MUSTER-IK ROLLS. 

Form 122, p. 239. 

This roll, under the head of Names, will contain a list 
of the entire company; the officers being placed first, 
according to rank. The privates will be placed in alpha- 
betical order, the surnames first, and the christian names 
written in full. 

The date of enrolment of each will be placed 'under the 
head of when. It is important to the recruit that this 
date be correctly inserted, as it governs the commence- 
ment of his pay. 

Every man whose name appears on this roll mast be ac- 
counted for on the next muster roll. If the company be 
mounted, and furnish their own horses, all exchange of 
horses by the men, after muster, is strictly forbidden. 






MUSTERrlST ROLLS. 24:3 

After tLe muster of the company, the Captain will sign 
the following certificate at the foot of the roll : 

I certify, on honor, that this Muster Roll exhibits the true state 
of Captain John B[ng's Company of the Sixteenth Regiment of New 
York Volunteers, for the period herein mentioned ; that each man an- 
swers to his own proper name in person ; and that the remarks set 
opposite the name of each officer and soldier are accurate and just. 

John Bings, 

Commanding the Company. 
Date: June 30th, 1861. 

Station : New York, N. Y. 

The authorized private horses of the command will be 
valued, together with their equipments, by three appraisers, • 
to be sworn by the mustering officer. They will subscribe 
to an oath of the following form upon the muster roll : 

We certify, oh oath, that the figures opposite the names on this 
roll, for valuation of horses and horse equipments, represent and show 
the true cash value of the horses and equipments of the men, respect- 
ively, at the place of enrollment, according to our honest, impartial 
judgment.

The mustering officer Avill sign the following certificate 
at the foot of the roll : 

I certify, on honor, that I have carefully examined the men whose 
names are borne on this Roll, their horses, and equipments, and have 
accepted them into the service of the United States, for the term of 
three years, from this thirtieth day of June, 1861. 

A. B., 

Mustering Officer, 
Date: June 30th, 1861. 

Station : New York, ¥. Y. 

In the caption of the roll, reference will be made to tho

particular act or acts of Congress, under which the militia 
are called into service. If there be no such act, then to 
the act May 8, 1792, amended by the acts April 18, 1814, 
and April 20, 1816. Mustering officers will not muster 
into service a greater number of officers, or of higher rank 
than the law prescribes. ISTo officer of the general staff 
will be mustered or received into service, except such 
general officers, with their aids-de-camp, as may be 
required to complete the organization of brigades or 
divisions. 

When a regiment is mustered into service, the field offi- 
cers, staff officers and band, will be mustered upon a 
separate roll. 

There will be prepared for each company, and for the 
field and staff, three rolls ; one to be sent immediately to 
the Adjutant-General, by the mustering officer, and two 
for the company archives. 



MUSTER-OUT ROLL. 

Form 123, p. 240. 

The rolls for mustering volunteers and militia out of 
service, must be compared with those of the first muster. 
All persons on the first rolls, and absent at the final muster, 
must be accounted for — whether dead, captured, dis- 
charged, or otherwise absent ; and if the mustering officer, 
in any particular case, shall have cause to doubt the report 
made to be entered on the rolls, he shall demand the oath 
of one or more persons, to prove the fact to his satisfac- 
tion ; further, he shall take care that not more persons of 
the several ranks be mustered out of service than were 
mustered in, if there be an excess over the requisition or 
beyond the law, nor recognize additions or substitutes, 
without full satisfaction that the additions or substitutions 
were regularly made, and at the time reported on the 
rolls. 

Officers charged with the duty of mustering militia, 
should take care that the muster rolls contain all the in- 
formation that may in any way affect their pay; the 
distance from the places of residence to the place of ren- 
dezvous or organization, and the date* of arrival, must be 
stated in each case ; the date and place of discharge, and 
the distance thence to the place of residence ; all stoppages 



MUSTER OUT ROLL. 245 

for articles received by the Government, must be noted on 
the rolls ; and in case of absence at the time of discharge 
of the company, the cause of absence must be stated. 
When the necessary information can not be obtained, the 
mustering officer will state the reason. 

The roll will contain the names, of the command arranged 
in the order explained for the muster-in roll. It will state 
for each man the time, place, and by whom enrolled; the 
period of enlistment ; the time, place, and by whom mustered 
into service ; when last paid, and by whom. 

Under the head of Travelling, will be inserted the num- 
ber of miles from the place of enrollment to the place of 
rendezvous. 

The number of days' subsistence and forage, furnished 
by the men, will be inserted under the proper heads. 

The amount of clothing in kind, or money advanced, will 
be stated against each name. 

The value of equipments, arms, and other public prop- 
erty received from the United States that has been lost or 
destroyed, will be charged against each name, in order 
that it may be deducted by the paymaster in making up 
the pay roll. 

The valuation of horses and equipments, as shown by 
the muster-in roll, will be inserted opposite each name. 

The list of those still belonging to the company w T ill be 
immediately followed by that of all the officers and sol- 
diers wdio, since the first muster into service, have ceased 
to belong to it. These will be classed in the following or- 
der, viz : discharged, transferred, died, deserted ; and the 
utmost particularity will be observed in the remarks con- 
cerning them. Date and place will, in every case, be given ; 
and No., date, etc., of orders, or description of authority, by 
which these changes have occurred, must always be care- 
fully specified, since this roll is to contain a correct history 
of all who were originally mustered into the service of the 
United States. 

It will be observed that soldiers who have deserted, and 
been retaken, since last muster, will have their places in 
both lists ; being first mentioned as present, and then again 
as deserted. 

Actions in which the company has been engaged, scouts, 
marches, changes of station, and everything of interest re- 
lating to the discipline, efficiency, or service of the company, 



246 MUSTER-OUT ROLL. 

will be carefully noted in the column of remarks, with date, 
place, and other particulars of the several events. 

At the foot of the roll will appear a recapitulation of the 
state of the company, in form as shown under the head of 
muster rolls, p. 182. 

The following certificates will be made by the command- 
ing officer of the company, and the mustering officer at 
the foot of the roll : 

I certify, on honor, that this Muster Roll exhibits the true state 
of Captain Charles Cabell's company of the Tenth Regiment New York 
Volunteers, for the period herein mentioned; that each man answers 
to his own proper name in person ; that the remarks set opposite the 
name of each officer and soldier are accurate and just, and that the 
valuation of all horses and horse equipments since the muster into 
service, was made by disinterested and good judges, and at fair and 
just rates. 

C Cabell, 

Co?nmanding the Company. 
Date: July 30th, 1861. 

Station: Elmira, N". Y. 

• 

I certify, on honor, that I have at Elmira, N. Y., on this thirtieth 
day of July, 1861, carefully examined this Roll, as far as practicable, 
caused the allowances, stoppages, and remarks to be justly and properly 
stated; and mustered the company for discharge; and it is hereby 
honorably discharged from the service of the United States. 

J. G., 

Major First Infantry, Mustering Officer. 
Date: July 30th, 1861. 

Station: Elmira, BF, Y. 

If, as has sometimes happened, militia, at the end of a 
term of service, shall, from the want of a mustering officer, 
disperse or return home without being regularly mustered 
out ; and if, with a view to a payment, a muster shall af- 
terward be ordered by competent authority, the officer 
sent for the purpose shall carefully verify all the facts 
affecting pay, by the oath of one or more of the officers 
belonging to such militia, in order that full justice may be 
done. 

In all cases of muster for payment, whether final or other- 
wise, the mustering officer will give his particular attention 
to the state and condition of the public property ; such as 
quarters, camp equipage, means of transportation, arms, 



ALLOWANCES OF VOLUNTEERS. 247 

accoutrements, ammunition, etc., which have been in the 
use or possession of the militia to be paid ; and if any such 
public property shall appear to be damaged, or lost, be- 
yond ordinary wear or unavoidable accident, such loss or 
damage shall be noted on the muster rolls, in order that 
the injury or loss sustained by the United States may be 
stopped from the pay that would otherwise be due to the 
individual or detachment mustered for payment. This 
provision shall be read to all detachments of militia on 
being mustered into service, and as much oftener as may 
be deemed necessary. 

Payments will, in all cases, be made by the Paymasters 
of the regular army. 

In cases of muster for pay, the rolls will be of the same 
form as above described for muster-out rolls, the word out 
being erased in the caption. 

The payments will be made on rolls prepared by the 
paymaster. 

There will be four muster-out rolls prepared for each 
company, and for the field and staff, one of which is sent 
to the Adjutant-General's office, two to the paymaster, and 
one retained hi the archives of the company. 

ALLOWANCES TO VOLUNTEERS. 

Officers, non-commissioned officers and privates of the 
volunteer organization of the United States, are placed on 
the same footing in respect to pay and allowances as similar 
corps of the regular army. 

The allowance to be paid non-commissioned officers and 
privates for clothing, when not furnished in kind, is three 
dollars and fifty cents per month, and each company officer, 
non-commissioned officer, private, musician, and artificer 
of cavalry shall furnish his own horse and horse equip- 
ments, and shall receive forty cents per day for their use 
and risk, except that in case the horse shall become dis- 
abled, or shall die, the allowance shall cease until the dis- 
ability be removed or another horse be supplied. Every 
volunteer non-commissioned officer, private, musician and 
artificer, who enters the service of the United States, shall 
be paid at the rate of fifty cents in lieu of subsistence, and 
if a cavalry volunteer, twenty-five cents additional, in lieu 
of forage, for every twenty miles of travel from his piace 



248 ALLOWANCES OF VOLUNTEERS. 

of enrollment to the place of muster — the distance to be 
measured by the shortest usually travelled route ^ and when 
honorably discharged an allowance at the same rate, from 
the place of his discharge to his place of enrollment ; and, 
in addition thereto, if he shall have served for a period of 
two years, or during the war, if sooner ended, the sum of 
one hundred dollars. Such companies of cavalry as may 
require it, may be furnished with horses and horse equip 
ments in the same manner as in the United States army. 

Any volunteer who may be received into the service of 
the United States, and who may be wounded or otherwise 
disabled in the service, shall be entitled to the benefits 
which have been or may be conferred on persons disabled 
in the regular service ; and the widow, if there be one, 
and if not, the legal heirs of such as die, or may be killed 
in service, in addition to all arrears of pay and allowances, 
shall receive the sum of one hundred dollars. 

The bands of the regiments of infantry and of the regi- 
ments of cavalry are paid as follows : one-fourth of each 
shall receive the pay and allowances of sergeants of engi- 
neer soldiers ; one-fourth those of corporals of engineer 
soldiers ; and the remaining half those of privates of engi- 
neer soldiers of the first class ; and the leaders of the band 
shall receive the same pay and emoluments as second lieu- 
tenants of infantry. 

Wagoners and saddlers receive the pay and allowances 
of corporals of cavalry. The regimental commissary ser- 
geant receives the pay and allowances of regimental ser- 
geant-major; and regimental quartermaster sergeants re- 
ceive the pay and allowance of sergeants of cavalry. The 
pay of each of these grades will be seen in the table of 
pay, page 173. 



RETIRED LIST. 2i9 



RETIRED LIST. 

HOW FILLED. 

Any commissioned officer of the army, or marine corps, 
who has become incapable of performing the duties of his 
office, shall be placed upon the retired list, and withdrawn 
from active service and command, and from the line of 
promotion. 

Any commissioned officer of the army, or of the marine 
corps, who shall have -served as such for forty consecutive 
years, may, upon his own application to the President of 
the United States, be placed upon the retired list. 

There must not however be upon this list at any one 
time, more than seven per centum of the whole number 
of officers of the army as fixed by law. 

PAY OF OFFICERS ON THE RETIRED LIST. 

Officers on the retired list will receive the pay proper 
of the highest rank held at the time of retiring, whether 
by staff or regimental commission, and four rations a day, 
and no other pay and emoluments. 

The only exceptions to this is, that in case of the retire- 
ment of the Brevet Lieut enant-General, it shall be without 
reduction of his current pay, subsistence, or allowance. 

Officers thus retired are entitled to wear the uniform of 
their respective grades, and will be borne upon the army 
or navy register, as the case may be, and will be subject 
to the rules and articles of war, and to trial by general 
court-martial, for any breach of the said articles. 

MANNER OF RETIRING OFFICERS. 

The Secretary of War, or the Secretary of the Navy, 
as the case may be, under the direction and approval of the 
President, will, as occasion may require, assemble a board 
of not more than nine, nor less than five commissioned 
officers, tAVO-fifths of whom shall be of the medical staff; 



250 MANNER OF RETIRING OFFICERS. 

the board, except those taken from the medical staff, to be 
composed, as far as- may be, of seniors in rank to those 
officers who may be brought before it. 

This board will determine the facts as to the nature and 
occasion of the disability of such officers as appear dis- 
abled to perform military service. The board being in- 
vested with the powers of a court of inquiry and court- 
martial, and their decision being subject to like revisions 
as that of such courts, by the President of the United 
States. 

The board, whenever it finds an officer incapacitated for 
active service, will report whether, in its judgment, this 
incapacity results from long and faithful service, from 
wounds or injury received in the line of duty, from sick- 
ness or exposure therein, or from any other incident of 
service. If so, and the President approve such judgment, 
the disabled officer shall thereupon be placed upon the list 
of retired officers. 

If the disability results from other causes, and the Presi- 
dent concur in opinion with the Board, the officer will be 
retired, either with his pay proper alone, or with his ser- 
vice rations alone, at the discretion of the President. Or, 
he shall be wholly retired from the service, with one year's 
pay and allowances ; and in this last case his name shall 
be thenceforward omitted from the register. 

The members of the Board are in every case to be sworn 
to an honest and impartial discharge of their duties. And 
no officer of the army shall be retired, either partially or 
wholly from the service, without having had a fair and' full 
hearing before the Board, if upon due summons he shall 
demand it. 

PROMOTIONS CONSEQUENT ON THE RETIRING OF AN 
OFFICER. 

Upon the retirement of an officer, the officer next in 
rank is to be promoted in the place of the retired officer, 
according to the established rules of the service. And the 
same rule of promotion shall be applied successively to the 
vacancies consequent upon the retirement of an officer. 



DISCHARGE FOR DISABILITY. 251 



DISCHARGE OF SOLDIER^. 

Enlisted men are not to be discharged prior to the ex- 
piration of their enlistment without authority of the War 
Department, except by sentence of a general court-martial, 
or by the commander of a Department or of an army in 
the field, on certificate of disability, or on application of

Surgeons, together with Medical Cadets and Hospital Stew- 
ards, who are non-commissioned officers. 

SURGEONS. 

Surgeons receive appointment after serving five years 
and passing an examination for promotion. If an assistant 
surgeon decline the examination, or be found not qualified 
by moral habits or professional acquirements, he ceases to

tion, may be allowed a second, after two years ; but never 
a third.

appointed from time to time by the Secretary of War, to 
examine applicants for appointment of assistant surgeons, 
and assistant surgeons for promotion. And no one shall 
be so appointed or promoted until so examined and found 
qualified. 

The board will scrutinize rigidly the moral habits, pro- 
fessional acquirements, and physical qualifications of the 
candidates, and report favorably, either for appointment 
or promotion, in no case admitting of a reasonable doubt. 

The Secretary of War will designate the applicants to 
be examined for appointment of assistant surgeon. They 
must be between 21 and 28 years of age. The board will 
report their respective merits in the several branches of 
the examination, and their relative merit from the whole ; 
agreeably whereto, if vacancies happen within two years 
thereafter, they will receive appointments and take rank 
in the medical corps. 

MEDICAL CADETS. 

This corps is attached to the medical staff of the army. 



256 HOSPITAL STEWARDS. 

It is their duty to act as dressers in the general hospitals, 
and as ambulance attendants in the field, under the direc- 
tion and control of the medical officers alone. 

They receive the same pay, arid have the same rank, as 
the military cadets at West Point. 

Their number is not to exceed fifty, but will be regu- 
lated by the exigencies of the service. The corps is to be 
composed of young men of liberal education, students of 
medicine, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-three, 
who have been reading medicine for two years, and have 
attended at least one course of lectures in a medical 
college. 

Medical cadets are enlisted for one year, and are subject 
to the rules and articles of war. On the fifteenth day of 
the last month of their service, the near approach of their 
discharge is to be reported by them to the Surgeon-Gen- 
eral, in order, if desired, that they may be relieved by 
another detail of applicants. 

HOSPITAL STEWARDS. 

The Secretary of War will appoint from the enlisted men 
of the army, or cause to be enlisted, as many competent 
hospital stewards as the service may require, not to exceed 
one for each post. 

The senior medical officer of a hospital requiring a stew- 
ard may recommend a competent non-commissioned officer 
or soldier to be appointed, which recommendation the 
commanding officer shall forward to the Adjutant-General 
of the army, with his remarks thereon, and with the re- 
marks of the company commander. 

When no competent enlisted man can be procured, the 
medical officer will report the fact to the Surgeon-General. 
Applications and testimonials of competency, from persons 
seeking to be enlisted for hospital stewards, may be ad- 
dressed to the Surgeon-General. 

A commanding officer may reenlist a hospital steward at 
the expiration of his term of service, on recommendation 
of the medical officer. 

Hospital stewards, appointed by the Secretary of War, 
whenever stationed in places whence no post return is 
made to -the Adjutant-General's office, or when on furlough, 
will, at the end of every month, report themselves, by let- 



EMPLOYMENT OF PRIVATE PHYSICIANS. 257 

ter, to the Adjutant-General and Surgeon-General, as well 
as to the medical director of the military department in 
which they may be serving ; to each of whom they will 
also report each new assignment to duty, or change of sta- 
tion, ordered in their case, noting carefully the number, 
date, and source of the order directing the same. They 
will likewise report monthly, when on furlough, to the 
medical officer in charge of the hospital to which they are 
attached. 

The jurisdiction and authority of courts-martial are the 
same with reference to hospital stewards as in the cases of 
other enlisted men. When, however, a hospital steward 
is sentenced by an inferior court to be reduced to the 
ranks, such sentence, though it may be approved by the 
reviewing officer, will not be carried into effect until the 
case has been referred to the Secretary of War for final 
action. In these cases of reduction, the application of the 
man for discharge from service, though not recognized as 
of right, will generally be regarded with favor, if his of- 
fence has not been of too serious a nature, and especially 
when he has not been recently promoted from the ranks. 

As the hospital stewards appointed by the Secretary of 
War are " permanently attached to the Medical Depart- 
ment," their accounts of pay, clothing, etc., must be kept 
by the medical officers under whose immediate direction 
they are serving, who are also responsible for certified 
statements of such accounts, and correct descriptive lists 
of such stewards, to accompany them in case of transfer ; 
as, also, that their final statements and certificates of dis- 
charge are accurately made out, when they are, at length, 
discharged from service. 



EMPLOYMENT OF PRIVATE PHYSICIANS. 

When it is necessary to employ a private physician as 
medical officer, the commanding officer may do it by written 
contract, conditioned as in Form 127, p. 259, at a stated com- 
pensation not to .exceed $50 a month when the number of 
officers and men, with authorized servants and laundresses, 
is 100 or more; $40 when it is from 50 to 100, and $30 
when it is under 50. 

But when he is required to abandon his own business, 
and give his whole time to the public service, the contract 



258 EMPLOYMENT OF PRIVATE PHYSICIANS. 

may be not to exceed $80 a month; and not to exceed 
$100, besides transportation in kind, to be furnished by the 
Quartermaster's Department, where he is required to ac- 
company troops on marches or transports. But a private 
physician will not be employed to accompany troops on 
inarches or transports, except by orders from the War De- 
partment, or, in particular and urgent cases, by the order 
of the officer directing the movement ; when a particular 
statement of the circumstances which make it necessary 
w r ill be appended to the contract. 

And when a private physician is required to furnish 
medicines, he will be allowed, besides the stipulated pay, 
from 25 to 50 per cent, on it, to be determined by the Sur- 
geon-General. 

In all cases, a duplicate of the contract will be transmit- 
ted forthwith by the commanding officer to the Surgeon- 
General ; and the commanding officer for the time being 
will at once discontinue it, whenever the necessity for it 
ceases, or the Surgeon-General may so direct. 

The physicians account of pay due must be sent to the 
Surgeon-General for payment, vouched by the certificate 
of the commanding officer that it is correct and agreeable 
to contract, and that the services have been duly rendered. 
But when it cannot conveniently be submitted to the Sur- 
geon-General from the frontier or the field, it may be paid 
on the order of the commanding officer, not to exceed the 
regulated amount, by a medical disbursing officer or a 
quartermaster. 

When medical attendance is required by officers or en- 
listed men on service, or for the authorized servants of such 
officers, and the attendance of a medical officer cannot be 
had, the officer, or if there be no officer, then the enlisted 
man may employ a private physician, and a just account 
therefor will be paid by the Medical Bureau. 

The account will set out the name of the patient, the 
date of and charge for each visit and for medicines. The 
physician will make a certificate to the account in case of 
an officer, or affidavit in the case of an enlisted man, that 
the account is correct, and the charges are the customary 
charges of the place. 

The officer will make his certificate, or the enlisted man 
his affidavit, to the correctness of the account, that he was 
on service at the place, and stating the circumstances pre- 



LIST OF INSTRUMENTS. 259 

venting him from receiving the services of a medical of- 
ficer. 

When the charge is against an officer, he will pay the 
account if practicable, and transmit it to the Medical Bu- 
reau for reimbursement.

The transfer of the surgical instruments issued to each

bidden. Those instruments will be accounted for to the 
Surgeon-General, on the 31st day of December, annually, in 
a special return, in which the true condition of each must 



MEDICAL SUPPLIES. 261 

be stated ; and if any be lost or damaged, a report of the 
facts and circumstances attending such loss or damage must 
be given. 

MEDICAL SUPPLIES. 

The medical supplies of the army are obtained from the 
medical purveyors, who alone make the regular purchases 
thereof. 

The senior medical officer of each hospital or post, will 
make requisitions for the supplies required for the ensuing 
year, in duplicate (Form 128, p. 270), on the Surgeon- 
General, who will transmit them, with his instructions, to 
the medical purveyors. 

Medical purveyors will furnish medical supplies only on 
the order, of the Surgeon-General, or on a special requi- 
sition (Form 129, p. 271 approved by a medical director, 
or, in particular and urgent cases, by a commanding offi- 
cer ; a like authority will be required in transfers of medical 
supplies. 

When it is necessary to purchase medical supplies, and 
and recourse can not be had to a medical disbursing officer, 
they may be procured by the Quartermaster .on a special 
requisition (Form 129, p. 271) and account (Form 130, 
p. 272). 

When any requisition for medical supplies is not ac- 
cording to the supply table, the reason therefor must be 
set out. 

In every case of special requisition, a duplicate of the 
requisition shall, at the same time, be transmitted to the 
Surgeon-General. 

An officer transferring medical supplies, will furnish* a 
certified invoice to the officer who is to receive them, and 
transmit a duplicate of it to the Surgeon-General. The 
receiving officer will transmit duplicate receipts to the 
Surgeon-General, with a report of the quality and con- 
dition of the supplies, and report the same to the issuing 
officer. A medical officer who turns over medical supplies 
to a quartermaster for storage or transportation, will for- 
ward to the Surgeon-General, with the invoice, the quarter- 
master's receipt for the packages. 

Medical officers will take up and account for all medical 
supplies of the army that come into their possession, and

276 BOARDS OF SURVEY. 



BOARDS OF SURVEY. 

Boards of Survey are not to be resorted to for the con- 
demnation of public property, but only to establish data by 
which questions of administrative responsibility may be 
determined, and the adjustment of accounts facilitated, 
such as to assess the damage which public property has 
sustained from any extraordinary cause, not ordinary wear, 
either in transit or in store, or in actual use, and to set 
forth the circumstances and fix the responsibility of such 
damage, whether on the carrier or the person accountable 
for the property or having it immediately in charge ; to 
report from examination the circumstances and amount of 
the loss or deficiency of public property by accident, un- 
usual wastage, or otherwise, and fix the responsibility of 
such loss or deficiency ; to make inventories of property 
ordered to be abandoned, when the articles have not been 
enumerated in the orders ; to assess the prices at which 
damaged clothing may be issued to troops, and the pro- 
portion in which supplies shall be issued in consequence of 
damage that renders them at the usual rate unequal to the 
allowance which the regulations contemplate ; to verify the 
discrepancy between the invoices and the actual quantity 
or description of property transferred from one officer to 
another, and ascertain as far as possible where and how 
the discrepancy has occurred, whether in the hands of the 
carrier or the officer making the transfer ; and to make in- 
ventories and report on the condition of public property 
in the. possession of officers at the time of their death. 
The action of the Board for the authorized object will be 
complete with the approval of the commanding officer, but 
liable to revision by higher authority. In no case, how- 
ever, will the report of the Board supersede the deposi- 
tions which the law requires with reference to deficiencies 
and damage. 

Boards of Survey will not be convened by any other 
than the commanding officer present, and will be composed 
of as many officers, not exceeding three, as may be present 
for duty, the commanding officer and the officer responsible 



BOARDS OF SURVEY. 277 

in the matter to be reported on being excluded ; but in 
case the two latter only are present, then the one not re- 
sponsible will perform the duties, and the responsible offi- 
cer will perform them if no other officer is present. The 
proceedings of the Board will be signed by each member, 
and a copy forwarded by the approving officer to the head- 
quarters of the department or army in the field, as the case 
may be, duplicates being furnished to the officer responsi- 
ble for the property. 

All surveys and reports having in view the condemnation 
of public property, for whatever cause, will be made by 
the commanding officers of the posts or other separate 
commands, or by Inspectors-General, or inspectors specially 
designated by the commander of a department or an army 
in the field, or by higher authority. Such surveys and re- 
ports having a different object from those of Boards of 
Survey, will be required independently of any action of a 
Board on the same property. 

When public property is received by any officer, he will 
make a careful examination to ascertain its quality and 
condition, but without breaking packages until issues are 
to be made, unless there is cause to suppose the contents 
defective ; and in any of the cases supposed in the first 
paragraph, he will apply for a Board of Survey for the 
purposes therein set forth. If he deem the property unfit 
for use, and that the public interest requires it to be con- 
demned, he will, in addition, report the fact for that pur- 
pose to the commanding officer, who will make a critical 
inspection, or^cause it to be made by an Inspector-General 
or special inspector, according to the nature of his com- 
mand. If the inspector deem the property fit, it shall be 
received and used. If not, he will forward a formal in- 
spection report to the commander empowered to give 
orders in the case. The same rule will be observed, ac- 
cording to the nature of the case, with reference to prop- 
erty already on hand. The person accountable for the 
property, or having it in charge, will submit an inventory, 
which will accompany or be embodied in the inspection 
report, stating how long the property has been in his pos- 
session, how long in use, and from whom it was received. 
The inspector's report will state the exact condition of each 
article, and what disposition it is expedient to make of it, 
as, to be destroyed, to be dropped as being of no value, to 



278 BOARPS OF SURVEY. 

be broken up, to be repacked or repaired, or to be sold. 
The inspector will certify on his report that he has exam- 
ined each article, and that its condition is as stated. If 
the commanding officer, who ordinarily would be the in- 
spector, is himself accountable for the property, the next 
officer in rank present for duty will act as the inspector. 
The authority of inspection and condemnation will not, 
without special instructions, extend to commanding officers 
of arsenals with reference to ordnance and ordnance stores, 
but may in regard to other unserviceable supplies. 

An officer commanding a department, or an army in the 
field, may give orders, on the part of the authorized in- 
spectors, either to sell, destroy, or make such other dispo- 
sition of condemned property as the case may require, ex- 
cepting with reference to the sale of ordnance and ord- 
nance stores, for which the orders of the War Department 
w^ill be requisite ; but if the property be of very considera- 
ble value, and there is reason to suppose that it could be 
advantageously applied or disposed of elsewhere than 
within his command, he will refer the matter to the Chief 
of the Staff Department to which it belongs for the orders 
of the War Department. No other persons than those 
designated, or the General-in-Chief, will order the final 
disposition of condemned property, excepting in the case 
of ordnance and ordnance stores which are to be dropped 
or broken up, horses which should be killed to prevent 
contagion, and provisions or other stores w^hich are de- 
teriorating so rapidly as to. require immediate action. In 
this last case the inspector may order the destruction or 
sale of the stores, and in the other cases he may direct the 
disposition above indicated with reference to them. The 
inventories will be made out in duplicate — one to be re- 
tained by the person accountable, and the other to accom- 
pany his accounts. When the action of the inspector has 
been final, a copy of the inventory will be forwarded 
through the Department or other superior headquarters, to 
the Chief of the Staff Department to which the property 
belongs. When the action of the Department or other 
superior commander is required, the original inventories 
will be sent to the headquarters, and returned witl\the 
final orders thereon to the person accountable for the 
property, and a copy of the inventory and orders will be 
forwarded from the Department, or other superior head- 



BOARDS OF SURVEY. 279 

quarters, to the Chief of the Staff Department to which 
they relate. 

Every inspector, member of a Board of Survey, and 
commander acting on their proceedings, shall be answera- 
ble that his action has been proper and judicious, accord- 
ing to the regulations and the circumstances of the case. . 

As far as practicable, every officer in charge of public 
property, whether it be in use or in store, will endeavor 
by timely repairs to keep it in serviceable condition, for 
which purpose the necessary means will be allowed on 
satisfactory requisitions ; and property in store so repaired 
will be issued for further use. Provisions and other per- 
ishable stores will be repacked whenever it may be neces- 
sary for their preservation and their value will justify the 
expense, which will be a legitimate charge against the De- 
partment to which they belong. Public animals will not 
be condemned for temporary disease or want of condition, 
but may by order of the commanding officer, after inspec- 
tion, be turned in for rest and treatment, if unfit for ser- 
vice for w^hich they are immediately required. 

Public property shall not be transferred gratuitously 
from one staff department to another ; but when offered 
for sale, and required for public service in another staff de- 
partment in which its use is allowed by Regulations, it 
may be bid in on the order of the commanding officer, *or 
purchased at a fair valuation, to be determined by a Board 
of Survey, if there should be no other bidder. 



SETTLEMENT OE ACCOUNTS. 

The several returns and accounts made by officers to the 
Subsistence, Quartermaster's, and Ordnance Departments, 
are after examination in those departments referred to the 
following Auditors of the Treasury for final settlement : 

All returns and accounts relating to Clothing, Camp and 
Garrison Equipage and Quartermaster's Stores, to the 
Second Auditor. Ordnance return to the Second Auditor. 
Subsistence accounts to the Third Auditor. 

After due examination by the respective auditors, the 
officer receives notice of the final settlement of the ac- 
counts, or a statement of differences existing between his 
accounts and what is considered by the Auditor as correct. 



280 ASSIGNMENT OF PAY. 

These differences are to be removed by the explanation 
of the officer, or the accounts are to be modified upon this 
basis and passed to a final settlement. 

Explanations will be made by letter through the depart- 
ment to which the account relates ; but should circum- 
stances require it, the officer may be ordered to Washing- 
ton to attend in person to the settlement of the accounts. 

Officers should preserve their duplicate vouchers, and 
other papers, until they receive the Auditor's letter an- 
nouncing the final settlement of the account to which they 
relate. 



ASSIGNMENT OF PAY BY VOLUNTEERS. 

Congress, by act of July 22d, 1861, authorized the as- 
signment by volunteers of portions of their* pay for the 
benefit of their, families. The following is the method of 
so doing, prescribed by the War Department : 

The assignment of pay will be made on a separate roll, 
to be executed under the supervision of the captain or 
immediate commander of the recruit at the time of enlist- 
ment or of the soldier in camp. When completed, the 
allotment roll is to be transmitted to the Paymaster-Gen- 
eral, by whom the directions will be made on each monthly 
pay roll, and the aggregate amount of each company's as- 
signment will be transmitted by him to the distributor 
named in the roll, together with a copy of said roll.

Office of Chief of Artillery, Army of Potomac, 
Washington, March 5, 1862. 
Colonel : — It gives me great pleasure to state that your little 
book, entitled "Patten's Artillery Drill," is, in my opinion, 
most admirably adapted to the use of non-commissioned officers 
and soldiers of the regular and volunteer batteries of field 
artillery. I should be glad to see it officially introduced into 
the service, particularly at the present time. I am, Colonel, very 
respectfully your obedient servant, 

WM. F. BARRY, Brig.-Gen., Ch. of Artillery. 

Headquarters Military Defences, 
Washington, D. C, March 5, 1862. 
I consider your work, called " Patten's Artillery Drill,' 1 an 
excellent manual for the use of our artillery soldiers, on account 
of its portability, easy references and full illustrations of every 
movement. 

Yours very truly, A DOUBLED AY, 

Brigadier-Gen eral of Volunteers. 
To Colonel Patten.
